I suppose it depends on what type of personal SHTF type event you are preparing for, but IMO having a lower-calorie long storage food item isn't an advantage. In the longer term scenarios you actually want to worry about keeping up your calorie count, not worry about increasing your waist size. I log all my stored food by calories and then determine how many days stock I've got by dividing it by 2,000 (average days intake) or 1,200 (emergency survival intake), so having something with 85% less calories just means I'd need more of it !

Obviously if you are prepping for more moderate scenarios such as loss of income, then it is perfectly reasonable to want to look at foods that allow a more balanced long-term diet. Consider however if you were forced to give up a cosy well-paid office job and replace that with an outdoor, manual labour job, you'd probably soon be craving those extra calories and still be fitter and healthier as a result.

I am interested about the calorie count from a losing weight point of view before TSHTF.

However, I have found a lot of recipes that call for PB powder so want to try it.

Think it would also be very useful for BOBs if you are having to carry the stuff, ie from a weight and space point of view.

Meanwhile, I have a dozen jars of the stuff in my "Pocky Lips" cupboard.

It has no added fats or oils but PB is VERY high in oils and fats. This is why it is considered one of the perfect food groups: protein, carbyhydrate, sugar, salt, oils

sorry Tigs - I had misread your post. I thought you said "peanut butter" not "peanut butter powder".
