    I can happen if you eat a fucking pound or two a week. Do you eat that much in a week as your comfort food?

      Yes I do

      I’m boring, I like having meals that I don’t have to think about as options to lean on in the morning. Pb and toast is my default for a low effort, no-brain-power-required breakfast.

      During my poverty days I ate that as my main source of calories in the day. At most I’d go through a 1lb jar in about 3 days, so like 2lbs a week back then.

      These days I’m eating a plant based diet and have far more variety of foods I put in my face. I still go through a 1lb jar in ~1 week, unless I’m eating oatmeal or something else for breakfast for a stretch.

      You know that ‘what’s one food you’d bring to a deserted island to eat forever’ question? My answer was always peanut butter. Have to rethink that now.

      I genuinely think I’ve been eating about a pound a week for a while. 😐 Not amused.

        A standard jar of JIF is only 3/4 Lb. 1-2Lb/week is 2-3 jars a week. There’s no way you didn’t suspect that this was unhealthy…

          I buy Albert Heijn’s 100% peanut butter by the kilo (1lb is about 450g) and I go through that in just over two weeks. I won’t lie though, it is self-evidently a lot of fucking peanut butter.

        Some years ago I could nearly eat nutella by the spoonful, but my taste buds must have changed because now it tastes too sweet, so I only eat it occasionally.

        I was going to say, I do this too, but about halfway through the jar it gets nauseating and I can’t look at the stuff for a couple weeks. At least I get natural peanut butter fwiw. Nothing there but peanuts and salt

      A pound is like a small tub. If it is a staple of your diet, you will easily eat that over a whole week. 7 days.
