Stephanie said that just because peanut butter powder is lower in calories and fat, doesn't mean that it's healthier, or that there's something wrong with eating regular peanut butter. Which one you choose to eat depends on your nutritional needs.
Now's a good time to mention that the fat in peanut butter comes from monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), which are healthy fats your body needs. Eating MUFAs can lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Including nuts like peanuts in your diet can also help with your weight-loss goals because the fat is digested more slowly than other nutrients and makes your food more filling and satisfying. If you get plenty of healthy fats from other sources and you're actually trying to cut down, then using this peanut butter powder would be a great option.
