Question 1

why have i been craving peanut butter and choc around my period so much?

It may be you: Having a taste for certain foods is very individual. Almost everyone likes chocolate, and peanut butter. This doesn't sound like an illness but a preference.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

See your doctor soon: You need medical evaluation and maybe more blood tests, I'm not sure what blood test you had a month ago, blood tests are  so many, meanwhile keep hydrating yourself well, good luck

Question 3

why have i been craving peanut butter so much? am i low on protein?

Accepted Answer

Food cravings: Food cravings may or may not mean what you think.  Pica is a condition in which people crave dirt and eat dirt, often because they are iron deficient. I'm not aware of a condition related to peanut cravings, but it never hurts to consult a dietician to go over your eating habits and see what could be done to improve them. Try to eat a balanced diet with lot of vegetables, including peanuts.

Question 4

i am on a low carb diet. i am constantly craving peanut butter and coffee. why is this? am i ok?

Accepted Answer

Cravings: Cravings are common when on a diet, you are fine.  Good luck.

Question 5

my lunch is 2 peanut butter sandwiches w/ choc milk. i want a flat stomach. how do i modify this lunch or should i eat a completely diff lunch?

Accepted Answer

Change diet: First, if u want to lose weight to get a flat stomach - change your diet - that is not healthy or low fat at all.  You have the carbohydrates from white bread plus the chocolate & milk.  Milk is not healthy at all &  chocolate milk is even worse.  Peanut butter is good only if it is natural peanut butter with nothing added like corn syrup - check the label. Better is fruits, veggies, whole grains.

Question 6

my 14 year old  eats too much peanut butter can it cause any harm? i'm very concerned.

Accepted Answer

Varied Diet: This depends on a number of things.  Your child's remaining nutrition? Does he have any underlying neurological disorder or developmental disorder like autism?  What is his height and weight?

Question 7

about how much all natural peanut butter is healthy to consume?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean: How much is too much?? There is nothing "unhealthy" nor particularly "unhealthy" .Peanut butter has a lot of good protien but many nutritionists feel it has too much saturated fat! Salt level may also be a "concern"

Hope this helps!

Question 8

is there such a thing as eating too much bread or to eat to much peanut butter?

Accepted Answer

Too many calories: Unless you have a peanut allergy, the only negative effect you can have from eating too much peanut butter is gaining weight. Peanut butter is a very calorie dense food and eating a lot of it is sure to make you gain weight. The same can be said for bread. If you have no problems with gluten, bread can be eaten with impunity. Bread's carbohydrates that can make it easy to gain weight, fat weight.

Question 9

could eating too much peanut butter give you gas?

Accepted Answer

Flatus: Fiber in peanut butter might contribute to gas production. See:  http://www.livestrong.com/article/532522-peanut-butter-flatulence/

Question 10
