| Sure, peanut butter is high in calories, but that's because it's 43 percent fat. Surprisingly, half of that fat is the same heart-healthy, monounsaturated variety that gives olive oil its illustrious reputation. Olive oil does contain about twice as much monounsaturated fat, but it also turns your bread into a sponge and tastes pretty rotten with grape jelly. Do your body a favor by making use of peanut butter with celery and sandwiches, and remember to limit your intake of white breads and other refined carbohydrates, which are far worse than the sticky stuff.
