  2. What is it? • To be labeled “peanut butter” under the regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, peanut products must account for 90% of the weight of the finished product. • If a product contains less than 90% it is called a “spread.” • Other additives may include sweetener and salt are added for flavor. Hydrogenated vegetable oil and other additives may be added as stabilizers. • Products without the stabilizers are considered “Natural Peanut Butter.”

  3. Questions to be answered about Peanut Butter • Why is it beneficial to athletes? • Is the saturated fat/ high fat content bad? • Is there benefits of natural peanut butter vs. regular? • What are some good options to eat with it?

  4. Why Peanut Butter is Beneficial • Great source of protein. • Contains essential vitamins. • Loaded in healthy fat. • Calorie dense. • High in dietary fiber.

  5. Protein • High protein content. • Contains all the essential amino acids necessary for normal body growth and metabolism. • Making it a very ideal source of protein.

  6. Lipids • Peanut butter’s fat can be called healthy because at least half of it is mono-unsaturated fat, and over 30% is poly-unsaturated fat. • The presence of high mono and poly unsaturated fatty acids reduces the risk of coronary heart diseases. • Both important in a heart healthy diet.

  7. Saturated Fat, is it bad? • Peanut butter does contain low amounts of saturated fat. • The body's response to saturated fat in food is to increase the amounts of both harmful LDL and protective HDL in circulation. • In moderation, some saturated fat is okay. • In elite athletes, saturated fat can even be beneficialdue to increased demands.

  8. Carbohydrates • The major carbohydrate in peanuts is starch. • Starch is a homopolysaccharidemade up of α-D glucose residues joined together by glycosidicbonds. • Also contains additive sugars.

  9. Key Vitamins & Minerals • Niacin- helps convert food to energy. • Riboflavin-has a key role in metabolizing fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. • Vitamin B6- involved in protein and red blood cell metabolism and has a role in the nervous and immune systems. • Vitamin E- commonly known as an antioxidant, but it is also involved in immune function and regulation of certain metabolic processes.

  10. Key Vitamins & Minerals cont. • Potassium- maintains fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Also, important for brain and nerve function and is necessary for normal growth and muscle development. • Magnesium- Supports a healthy immune system, promotes normal blood pressure, keeps bones strong, and helps to regular blood sugar levels • Zinc- Helps in wound healing, and is involved in building proteins • Copper- Role in the production of key proteins in our body. • Manganese- cofactor for many enzymes.

  11. Natural vs. Regular • Regular peanut butter typically has a few more things added to it, such as, salt, sugar and hydrogenated oil. • Hydrogenated oil causes regular to have trans fats but not enough to have a significant effect. • Natural peanut butter has no sugar or hydrogenated oil. • Natural has a higher mono/poly-unsaturated fat content. • The amount of protein, carbohydrate, fat, calories, cholesterol, and fiber in natural vs. regular peanut butter are about equal. • Natural is healthier due to the absence of the additives.

  12. Peanut butter combinations • Sandwiches- Honey, jelly of all kinds, Nutella… • Fruit- Bananas, apples, pears… • Vegetables- celery, broccoli… • Random- Bacon, PB and bagle. Tortilla, raisins and PB. PB and crackers. PB, cheese, miracle whip, lettuce and bread. • Endless possibilities, depends on individuals taste preferences.
