In a video posted on his TikTok account, nutritionist Raphaël Gruman advises not to consume too much of any type of food at breakfast.
Often very high in sugar and fat, breakfast foods can be false friends for those who want to lose weight or watch their diet. If jams, industrial cakes and cereals contain a lot of added sugar, other products are very high in fat. This is particularly the case for peanut butter which has been very trendy in recent years. Popularized by sports coaches, it is rich in proteins and good fats, but also ultra-caloric.
On his TikTok account, the nutritionist Raphaël Gruman reminds that this type of product is very high in calories: “There are 50g of fat and 600 calories per 100g of product in peanut butter. It is also very rich in proteins and useful in the diet of athletes for whom it helps develop muscle mass and fat mass.”. But as part of a “classic” diet, peanut butter should not be consumed in too large quantities.

How to eat peanut butter for breakfast?
“If eaten with bread, it provides a significant contribution of carbohydrates with the bread and a contribution of fat, sugar and proteins with the peanut butter.” explains the nutritionist. This is why it is recommended to combine it with cottage cheese or fruit and not to consume it in too large a quantity (one teaspoon is enough).
It is also recommended to choose a very good quality peanut butter (no added sugar or oil), with a composition based on 100% peanuts and possibly a little salt. Peanut butter can also be added to your smoothies to increase their protein and good fat content.
