Protein bars definitely cause gas in many people. Regarding the peanut butter vs. egg whites -- PB is sweet (unless you're using one with just peanuts & salt). Perhaps you're drawn to the sugar now. Why not try just eating a serving of nuts instead?

I can’t really eat nuts. I’m allergic. I can get away with a few which I already do to get my whole food supplement of omega 3 and selenium.

If you have a nut sensitivity/allergy, I would definitely stay away from peanut butter! If the issue is getting in more protein, have you tried shelled edamame? You can buy frozen bags of it in the grocery for about $2/16 oz., and it's 10g protein for 100 kcal. Bonus is that soybeans are a complete protein.

@just. I can eat peanut butter depends on the brand and I limit it. I’m allergic to almost everything. I’ve built a tolerance and am hyper vigilant to my food allergies. Yes I eat edamame as well. Toasted and shelled everyday as a whole food estrogen replacement since I’m post menopause. And am also allergic to it. So again in moderation.

Thanks empress but I’m looking for f2f therapy

Ah yes, the pilgrimage to mecca that body fat does in your 50s. It's a warning of potential diabetes. I was sure you'd want to hear that.... I have such cut forearms and calf muscles now, I look like I'm in training. My belly not so much... :D

@bubbles diabetes I’ve always watched for since I was young enough to know about it. Both my parents have it and my love for sweets makes me extra watchful.

Have you heard of Ka'Chava?

@shir never tried but I’ve heard of it

Hope you can find a new therapist that works for your needs. From what I’ve learned, if you are needing more protein PB is really categorized as a fat. It’s a good fat but pretty high up on fat v. protein. Oatmeal is pretty high carb compared to the protein it offers, which for me counts as a carb. The egg whites are great! Whole eggs too. Another go to protein source is Greek yogurt. Since you are not a big meat eater maybe try plant based protein powder? I use KOS brand. It’s pretty clean. I also useVital Protein but it’s animal based.

@storms thanks. Still searching and hoping to find one soon. I decided to cut out the peanut butter. I liked it mostly for the saltiness but it is too high in fat for me. I’m not a fan of the powdered anything so I’m just gonna try to up my egg whites. I don’t really do whole eggs unless I’m eating out. I found away to eat the protein bars though. I can eat half at a time and it doesn’t make me bloat or upset my stomach or trigger my allergies.
