if you're on a keto diet i dont see a problem with it. i assume that you are, since you mentioned you're on a "carbless" diet.

if ur body is already in a ketotic state, ur running on fats anyways so utilizing that as fuel is no problem. in fact, throwing carbs into the mix may even pull you OUT of the ketotic state, unless you know that your body responds well to a targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) where you induce a carb spike during certain times of the day. [DISCLAIMER: not everyone can run or respond well to a keto diet successfully so please i hope you know your body well before testing out a TKD. personally i dont do well on it and do better on CKD.]

but for ur post workout meal you should eliminate the fats and go for lean, low fat protein like egg whites or chicken breast. fat slows down the absorbtion of nutrients... which is not what you want post workout as you need that protein going to your muscles as fast as possible!

hope this helps

cold storage... look for Adam's 100% natural peanut butter.
jaya grocer also has Adam's... the one at empire subang also carries brands of sugarless PB like Smuckers and Skippy.

or.... you could always make your own.

well its up to you... on a keto diet ur body should be burning the ketones as fuel, which come from the breakdown of free fatty acids in the blood. if its not breaking down dietary fat... it's breaking down what thats already in your body - fat reserves. when i do keto i have PB before my workout and i feel fine.

if you insist on a "quick" energy source, consider purchasing MCT oils or virgin coconut oil. 1-2 tablespoons before workout or as required. MCTs do not require bile to be digested and processed, and are more readily absorbed and utilised by the body for energy than other forms of dietary fat (long chain)

yeah they are expensive.... but i find a rm18 bottle lasts me quite a long while. and yeah they taste great! i use them in my homemade PB, shakes and other stuff. yummy!

If you're gonna buy regular PB of ourse its unhealthy cos it contains a truckload of sugar.... on top of preservatives, sodium and trans fats.

if u pick up organic or natural PB, it wont be a problem.

PB has a high amount of fat.... but a great percentage of these fats are heart-healthy unsaturated fats. also... i personally find that it helps curb hunger and cravings cos the fat satiates you. PB is also rich in vitamin B, E and iron.

anyhoo... heres an article for you

its said there that PB is a poor source of carbohydrates. while energy-wise it is not a problem if ur on a keto diet.... it is important to have a carb refeed day or cheat day in order to replenish glycogen stores, repair muscle tissue, and mantain thyroid fuction.
