Milk and Peanut Butter

ryanjmccabe Posts: 7 Joined: 2005/04/26	2005/07/14, 12:10 PM I just spent the last hour analyzing my diet and it is really bugging me that I take in about 1900 calories a day (about 1500 less then the suggested by this site) but yet I eat about 10 grams of fat too much. The majority of the fat comes from milk and peanut butter (48 grams to be exact). My question is, how unhealthy are milk and peanut butter? I was told that they were healthy, so should I be concnerned about that amount of fat?

A lot of people say that it slows down the absorption of whey proteins, which are fast digesting amino acids which get to your muscle quicker. Milk, if you're really serious about being "huge" is more of a before bed type thing, but it's ok if you are not going to be a competitive lifter or anything like that. Peanut butter is good too, just make sure you get natural style, that has less fat, and usually of the good kind than the other brand name peanut butters. Try to get reduced fat milk if you can that way you can balance out some of your meals if you're getting too much fat in them... ============ Quoting from ryanjmccabe: I just spent the last hour analyzing my diet and it is really bugging me that I take in about 1900 calories a day (about 1500 less then the suggested by this site) but yet I eat about 10 grams of fat too much.
