Eating peanut butter every day can promote satiety .

 

While peanut butter certainly tastes delicious and can be used in a myriad of ways, one of the best things about it is that it can promote satiety. That's important if you want to both establish and maintain healthy eating habits. And, since peanut butter is super filling, you may not need to eat as much of other foods if it's on your daily menu, according to registered dietitian Amanda A. Kostro Miller.

"You can hold off hunger," the expert told The List. "Healthy fats and fiber in peanut butter can help you stay full for several hours." That's certainly preferable to eating the same amount of calories in sugar form, as the sugar won't keep you satisfied for nearly as long.

Even if you already have a meal planned, consider adding a serving or two of peanut butter to it to maximize this benefit. "Adding peanut butter to a smoothie, dessert, toast, or sandwich can help you feel satisfied and prevent early snacking before your next meal," Kostro Miller added.
