Kidney stones fucking suck too. Note that there are more than just the calcium oxalate kidney stones, but for those ones in particular, other things high in oxalates that you might be eating that are high in oxalates: spinach, chocolate, tea, nuts, sweet potatoes.
So if you’re trying to eat healthier, don’t fully adjust to eating (breakfast) an oatmeal bake with nuts, peanut butter, and chocolate; (lunch) wraps using a spinach wrap and/or spinach instead of lettuce for the greens in it; and tea instead sodas… Unless you like the idea of Tylenol sized kidney stones.
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
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’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 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.
Oh my god
I did not know that could happen.
Time to find some other foods to replace my #1 go-to 😟
Fuck
Yes this peanut butter news is devastating. Now I want to know how much is too much.

This happened to me, 11mm kidney stone. It’s truly sucks.
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?
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.
I mean a pound, I have sat in front of a jar of nutella and done that. Just wouldn’t do that every week lol

I stopped drinking coke for some time now, except in very rare examples. It tastes completely off to me now.
I wonder if you’d like cane sugar soda, either kosher coke or smaller soda makers will have stuff that uses real sugar instead of corn syrup.
I’m drinking the real stuff, I’m not from the US
Good for you. Empty calories anyway
Yes
Yes I do

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…
