peanut butter is fattening but but you wont gain as much weight as you would eating meat.
you could be a pescatarian that is like a vegetarian except they eat seafood.

Answer 2

Peanut butter is a good source of protein, particularly if you choose a brand that doesn't have added hydrogenated oils and sugar (skip Skippy.) But you really have to eat a balanced diet and not depend on one source of protein. It's not at all hard to get enough protein as a vegetarian, though. If you're eating fruits, vegetables, grains (bread, pasta, etc, especially whole grain varieties,) beans and other legumes, nuts and seeds, and soybeans or soy products (meat substitutes, tofu) then you will be getting plenty of protein.

Answer 3

Peanuts and peanut butter (along with other nuts and nut butters) are good sources of protein, but they're also fairly high in fat. You might want to eat beans, soy products, seitan (made from wheat gluten, called "wheat meat"), quinoa (a South American grain)--basically, if you eat a variety of foods, you should be fine. It's never a good idea to rely on one food for a source of any nutrient.

Answer 4

Hi, Yes and no. You need to have more than just Peanut butter because altho pb is great protein but it doesn't provide all the amino acid.

another veg protein are great taste and healthy for you are like:

soy meats, (burga, mroning starter, you can find them in almost all store or organic store)

tofu-made by soy too, stir fry.

nuts, walnut, healthy and good for you (prefer unsalt)

beans, all kind of beans, mix beans.

let me know if I can help you, feel free to email me,. my goal is to become a vegetarian nutritonist. [e-mail]

meanwhile you can take a multivitamin daily with your meal (prefer middle of the meal) and drink it with oj or water.

Answer 5

It's never good to get protien from one source. Peanut butter is a source of protien but you also want to make sure you are getting protien from vegetables, whole grains, seeds, other nuts, and even fruits. I can't stress enough, variety variety variety.

Answer 6

Protein is far more abundant in the vegetarian diet than anything the meat industries pump out.

Answer 7

Peanut butter is a very solid source of protein. It additionally has the essential omega 3 fat, fiber, low carbs, and no ldl cholesterol. yet 2 tablespoons of that's a serving. so which you're able to desire to have a minimum of two tablespoons.

Answer 8

ALOT of things can replace the protein in meat, like nuts, fruits, beans, whole grain, even milk and eggs,. and if you still like eating fish, that is good also. Meat is not the only thing that contains protein, you get alot of it daily without even noticing

Answer 9

um..if you ate loads of it. the S.A.D. (standard american diet) says that we need like 46 grams a day. I think that's a bit much. I think we just need to eat healthy.

If you're worried about protein though, try::
tofu, soy, quinwoa, legumes, nuts/seeds, whole grains, ect. don't worry, deary, you'll get plenty. :)

PS: besides, peanut butter is really fatty and high calorie. if you want to eat a lot of it though, make sure it doesn't have partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, it's terrible for your liver.

Answer 10

Yes but there is plenty of choice for protein. Beans are a good source.

Answer 11

Yes, it will give you enough protein, but eating too much of it may cause other problems. Try to eat a broad variety of nuts, and some beans as well.
