 Alright guys what is going on it's Jacob here we're back with another diet tips type of video today's video is going to be nice and short nice and concise I hope and it's just going to give you guys an alternative to your classic thing that everyone loves in fact people eat it out of the fucking container with a spoon and that's peanut butter now depending on your brand obviously there's going to be ones with lower sugar you know lower fat higher protein etc etc but at the end of the day generally your peanut butters are going to be really really calorically dense and that is because they're made up of mostly fat each gram of fat has nine calories each gram of protein has four and each gram of carbs has four so if you've got something like peanut butter that is really high in fat obviously a serve of peanut of this particular peanut butter is one tablespoons that's 22 grams and if you think about a tablespoon you know it's not that big is it so like anything that's high in fat such as peanut butter the serving size that you're going to get for a certain amount of calories is going to be quite low and when you're on a calorically restricted diet such as I am right now if you're trying to cut down for a certain you know you try to get into a certain size of genes or you're trying to do a bodybuilding competition or you're just trying to get a little bit leaner so that you feel good about yourself you're going to want to be sticking under a certain amount of calories and if you want things like peanut butter in your diet you're not going to be able to have much at all and that really sucks with me you know when I eat something I hate having just a tiny bit like I hate having to to break things in half and only have that half you know I tend to do intermittent fasting and one of the main reasons why I do that is because it allows me to have bigger meals within the eating window so the last thing I want to do is stop at three four hundred calories when you know I'm still hungry peanut butter does not go well with that kind of thing you can't eat much of it especially when I'm trying to diet so my ultimate replacement would have to be PB2 powdered peanut butter now what this is is it's crushed peanuts which crushes out most of the fat in fact I think it's 85% of the fat is actually crushed out of these so this is actually powdered peanuts and what you go and do is you mix a serving of this which is actually two tablespoons with some water mix it up and it makes a really nice tasting peanut butter sort of paste it is still peanut butter you know it's don't be scared that it's going to taste bad because it doesn't it really tastes nice and as far as you know the macros go like I was talking about before each gram of fat has nine calories if you press 85% of the fat out of something it's going to drastically reduce the calories right so that's exactly what you get one serve which is 22 grams or one tablespoon we've got 138 calories we've got 5.2 grams of protein 11.3 grams of fat 3 grams of carbs in one serve which is one tablespoon that's a lot of fat if we come over here to a PB2 I do realise there's other brands and other makes of this particular like type of product where they press out the fat but PB2 is something I've used for the last couple of years I always trust it it's sold in Australian supermarkets which helps so when it's on special I tend to grab it now one serve of this is two tablespoons of powder mixed with one tablespoon of water which makes 19 grams so you've got 22 grams serve you've got a 19 gram serve 138 calories 73 calories 5.2 grams of protein 8 grams of protein so more protein less calories you can't go wrong with that we've got 11.3 grams of fat in this one you've got 2.4 in this so I mean that's if you if it tastes like real peanut butter and you've got like less than a quarter of the fat of normal peanut butter that's an absolute winner for me and as far as carbs go you've got three grams of carbs in here and you've got 4.8 grams of carbs in here so higher in protein way lower in fat and around about the same amount of carbs and you've also got 3.2 grams of fiber in one serve of these so whether it be your normal peanut butter or whether it be PB2 I think peanut butter is something that a lot of people can't go without or they feel like they can't go without I mean I love peanut butter everyone loves it whether you put it on toast rice cakes I mean the beauty about this is that you obviously mix water with it so you can choose what consistency you want I mean if I want to actually drizzle it over something like berries or like oats or yogurt or something like that I can mix more water with it to make it more you know of a runny consistency and that's up to me and it doesn't add any more calories into it so you know this is a fantastic product the macro speak for themselves like I've said it's got half pretty much half the calories double the protein a quarter of the fat and the same amount of carbs with more fiber so I absolutely love this product it comes in peanut butter just normal flavored and it also comes in a chocolate flavor which has cocoa powder in there today I just got the normal and yeah that would be it guys if you guys have any tips for me if you have any other brands of this sort of product that have better macros let me know because I'll you know I'll suss them out I'm always all about learning you know I'm trying to teach you guys something but I am absolutely about learning I love getting constructive criticism I love people telling me about low calorie options I think it's fantastic you know with flexible dieting you can do that with if it's your macros I don't go 100% on if it's your macros but with things like peanut butter if you want to fit it in to your calorically restricted diet you're gonna want to go for something like this I mean that makes sense so that would be my tip for today PB2 powdered peanut butter I still do have some of this you know at times but at the moment especially I'm trying to stick under a certain amount of calories this will be the one that I use and like I said before you can mix different amounts of water with it to make it different consistency to use it in different things what a great product those are my tips for today until next time have a great day train hard and we can all make some gains peace
