It is 100% Protein! Peanut Butter May Protect against a high risk of cardiovascular disease due to high levels of monounsaturated fats and resveratrol. Peanut butter (and peanuts) provide protein, vitamins B3 and E magnesium, folate, dietary fiber, arginine and high levels of the antioxidant p-coumaric acid.

Yes. It is a cheap source of protein. It is an incomplete protein meaning it doesn't have all the amino acids. When taken with a complete protein like milk or cheese, it is healthier.

Peanuts are very healthy unless they are salted, so I would suggest eating those instead. but if on whole wheat bread, it is not to fatty, just watch how much you eat it.

Peanut butter is not bad for you unless you are allergic to it. It also depends on what type of peanut butter. Many of the major brands add hydrogenated oils and salt to the peanut butter making it unhealthy. Organic Natural peanut butter made with just peanuts is very healthy.

Yes, as long as it is natural peanut butter (meaning no additional sugars or fats were added). Peanut butter is a good source of protein, especially for vegetarians, and contains healthy oils.

No, only a lot at one time is bad. Peanut butter is full of protein and can trick the mind into thinking the stomach is full.
