Oakleaf, I wasn't insulted at all. I apparently wasn't clear that I was interested in lower fat options..... I'm not cutting fat, just mindful is of where it's coming from. For the way I want to eat, peanut butter is a whole lot of extra calories and not much else.

Just for grins I compared a snack of 2T peanut butter straight out of the jar, with my "usual" of a medium apple, 2 oz or so of turkey slices, and an oz or so of 2% fat cheddar cheese.

Lots more protein, much less fat. Especially if one is active or eating for recovery, getting the quality protein is is really important.

I also find that putting those three things on a plate gives me a lot to eat, and it's really satisfying in staving off hunger until dinner time. I'm just bored with it.
