But also high in fat and thus calories. Lower-grade brands also add in garbage like palm fat or sugar. But like with all things, it depends a lot on the quantities you consume and also what else you eat and drink.

Of course, but personally I find it hard to eat too much of a ‘nut’ butter. I did keto for some months and was, in fact, almost always nauseatingly full from all the fat.

  • Interesting. I could eat PBJs all day long, if someone let me (and thank you to all the loving people who don't!)

    • Well, that J over there might be the trick. In keto I wouldn’t use jelly. I ate whatever fats and bits of protein I wanted, but it turns out that you’re full all the time and end up eating less (~2.2k calories vs my median of 2.6k).

The high fat is a benefit not a detriment.

  • Depends on your views of the lymphatic system and the role of fiber and protein. My fiber intake during keto was <15g, and I think my colon wasn’t happy.
