Title: Peanut Butter so if a calorie is a calorie and you eat lots of fat but very few calories would the fat really matter? they say take in what your body needs and you eat your daily requirements but most of it was fat. does that really matter cause i love peanut butter. (or cause weight gain)but anyways this is a question that has boggled me.

It is significantly easier for your body to process and use carbohydrates, then protien, then fats (roughly in that order). In fact, the more fat you give you body, the more likely it will be to "store" that fat (becuase that is the easiest thing for your body to do) than to try to burn through it unless you "push" your body to use the fat through a low carbohydrate diet or through consistant exercise. Another thing to keep in mind, you need carbohydrate to burn fat while maintaining your muscle mass. Why care? Because every ounce of muscle you have will burn calories AT REST!! So if you must enjoy the peanutbutter, make it a sandwich and give you body the fuel it needs. Name: holly Date: Oct. 26th, 2001 Title: Re: Peanut Butter thank you for answering.
