Is that a picture of the new McDonalds Big Mac Bacon StackThe obligatory picture of a healthy breakfast:
Am amazed at the people who cite a small bit of this and that, a few sliced almonds, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese...are y'all trying to be 105 pounds or something? LOL That's the way my 105-pound Mom used to eat. Half an English muffin with butter and a cup of tea for breakfast. Half a tunafish sandwich and a cup of tea for lunch. Half of this, a scrap of that. No thank you!!
Yikes! Marketing!BTW, Kroger has great sales on their natural peanut butter. Be sure to read the labels. Some "naturals" have as much sugar added as Skippy....

We like Smucker's which has no added sugar, just a touch of salt.
I've come to really like the old fashioned separated PB. It took a little getting used to after all those years of blended trans-fat laden PB (yikes again!). But now that I'm used to it, I love it. I'll have to give Kroger's brand a try.

The fatty acid composition of 11 brands of peanut butter and paste freshly prepared from roasted peanuts was analyzed with emphasis on isomeric trans-fatty acids. No trans-fatty acids were detected in any of the samples in an analytical system with a detection threshold of 0.01% of the sample weight. Hydrogenated vegetable oils are added to peanut butters at levels of 1--2% to prevent oil separation. Some hydrogenated vegetable oils are known to be sources of trans-fatty acids in the human diet. The addition of these products was not found to result in measurable amounts of trans-fatty acids in the peanut butters analyzed
Anyone know of a PB brand w/o sugar that doesn't need to be stirred? I've been buying Trader Joe's, and Smucker's 'Old Fashioned' I think. They both need to be stirred, but taste good to me.

My 'fix' for oil separation is to empty the entire contents of a new jar of PB into a large bowl and use my hand mixer to combine the oil on top with the peanut butter on the bottom. Return the contents to the jar and refrigerate. As long as it doesn't spend to much time at room temp, the oil stays well mixed in.

I'm not the food police, but I noticed you said your morning blood sugars tended to be higher....have you tried switching lunch and breakfast and then checking your blood sugar?

Even DW, who is 100 lbs, eats more than that.
My "fix" is to store the unopened jar upside down in the cupboard. When I open the jar, the peanut butter is on top. I then stir it around with a knife. Once opened, I store the jar in the refrigerator.
My wife is not 100 lbs (BMI of 21 though), and these ladies eat more than what she does for breakfast. She only has a cup of tea, no sugar, no milk.
Actually I said my waking numbers are high prior to eating (e.g. dawn phenomena), but my thinking is that consuming carbs early in the day can be helpful in giving you energy to get throw the day. Cutting back carbs for lunch and then more so for dinner is usually a good strategy timing wise.
