Is eating half a jar of peanut butter better than eating 2 slices of pizza for lunch? Note that I want to eat half a jar of peanut butter.

Answer 1

Half a jar of peanut butter is a lot more fat than pizza

Answer 2

It's better than 2 slices of pizza if you are trying to cut out carbs and stick to a high protein diet.

However, it does have a ton of fat (albiet healthy fats...), not enough protein, and not enough complex carbs.

You can spend that 206 calories MUCH better on a Tuna sandwich on wheat toast, with 2 tbl spoons of peanut butter.
