Reduced-fat peanut butter
Repeat after us: The fat from nuts is good for you! A study published in 2017 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that an eating plan that includes nuts, tree nuts, peanuts, and walnuts was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
What’s more, when you compare labels of regular and reduced-fat peanut butter, you’ll see that the calories are roughly equal. The difference is that reduced-fat versions add more sugar to make up for the lack of fat. So choose the regular kind, and stick with 1 to 2 tablespoons per serving.
