I'm so glad I read this thread. I recently bought peanut butter because, while high calorie, I had always thought it was a "good source of protein". Guess I'll nix that idea! lol
It is a good source of protein as long as you don't overdo it. I ate it all the time my first two years with no detrimental effects on my weight loss or maintenance. But then it became a trigger food and I couldn't stop after just one serving so unfortunately it's off limits for me now. It became my crack. Occasionally I will get a single packet of natural peanut butter to eat on a hike or trail ride, but having a whole jar in the house is out of the question.
I'm doing much better nix peanut butter and milk to mix with my protein. Now down 7 lbs in a week. Guess I just needed a kickstart or my diary is helping me stay on track.
There you go!

1 cup of coconut milk has 13 gms carbohydrate, with 5 gm protein, bananas are very high carb and sugar (14 gms!). Apples are a little better, but still over 20 carbs each for a small one. salad also has carbs, though not many calories, so it's kind of a wash. 2 tbsp of PB has 6 gm of carbs.
13 + 27 + 20 + 6 = 66 total carbs, not too bad, but if you want to do "low carb" you need to stop eating fruit, for sure, replace it with protein. I bet very low carb would give you a kick start...under 30 carbs/day, better, under 20
