DID YOU KNOW: Peanut butter offers a great deal of health benefits. It may be calorie dense—200 calories per 2 tablespoons—but it’s much needed for runners. Plus, indulging in this spread can help control hunger without leading to weight gain. Peanut butter is full of fat, protein, and fiber, and it gives you a slow, sustained release of energy. It does contain fat, but it is overwhelmingly the preferred unsaturated fat, which makes peanut butter good for your heart too.
