Has anybody said that peanut butter boosts metabolism?

I had peanut butter last night and it’s not even 4 hours after dinner and I’m already hungry. I usually don’t get hungry at all between 5 at night and 12 in the afternoon the very next day cause my metabolism knows my meal time is 12 and 5. I’ve heard of people losing 50 pounds by adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to their diet each day.

I think some legumes (such as peanuts) can boost metabolism but when combined with numerous ingredients such as sugar, protein, vitamins, etc., the purpose of boosting metabolism is defeated.

Peanuts, by themselves, can achieve the goal.

Peanut butter, with all its ingredients, won't.

I thought it was the other way around, people used peanut butter to gain weight bc of all the calories just one tablespoon has.

It can be filling. You talked about vitamin B12, probably has a similar effect. In higher dosages, it causes weight gain. Balance calories. It boosts metabolism to process the fiber.

Peanut butter can fill you up (it sticks to your stomach). But eating a lot of it can make you gain weight, so I'd be careful if you're trying to lose weight.

I wouldn't know about it's effects on metabolism, but I do believe it effects asthma in a negative way.
