TEXT I
Is peanut butter a good source of protein? Nutrition experts explain.
[1] Protein is the macronutrient du jour. Discussions about nutrition online as of late are all about making sure you're consuming enough protein every day.
[2] The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is currently 0.36 grams of protein per pound, according to Harvard Health, or about 54 grams daily for a person who weighs 150 pounds.
[3] But diet experts are increasingly pushing for consuming higher amounts of protein: upwards of 60 to 90 grams daily. Registered dietitian Jamie Nadeau previously told USA TODAY that she recommends getting "at least 20 grams of protein per meal for satiety," though she notes everyone has different needs.
[4] To what extent can peanut butter help you reach those goals? Nutrition experts explain.
[5] A two-tablespoon serving of peanut butter contains about 7 grams of protein, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) food database.
[6] That doesn't mean you shouldn't eat peanut butter – experts say it just means peanut butter is meant to be a small part of more well-rounded meals. Thomason suggests pairing a serving of peanut butter with a carb, protein and a fruit or vegetable. Some favorite combos include peanut butter and an apple, peanut butter and banana toast and a smoothie or oatmeal with peanut butter.
[7] "Those things are going to help you balance it out and not feel like it's easy to overeat," she says.
[8] To hit that recommended 20-gram goal, you'd have to eat about 6 tablespoons – nearly three servings of peanut butter – which amounts to nearly 600 calories. While experts say eating more than the serving size isn't harmful, per se, there are much easier (and less calorie-dense) food options to get more protein.

According to text I:
Resolução comentada
Segundo o texto, as necessidades de proteína variam de pessoa para pessoa.
No parágrafo 3, a nutricionista recomenda pelo menos 20 g de proteína por refeição, mas ressalva que 'everyone has different needs'. Logo, há pessoas que não precisam consumir esse mínimo, o que torna D correta.
Análise das alternativas
A) A Harvard Health apenas informa a RDA. Quem defende quantidades maiores são 'diet experts'. B) O texto diz que a pasta de amendoim deve ser parte pequena de refeições variadas e que há opções melhores de proteína. C) Nadeau não fala em combinar a pasta com outras fontes de proteína. Quem sugere combinações é Thomason. E) Uma porção são duas colheres de sopa, não uma, e o texto dá cerca de 200 calorias por porção (600 kcal para quase três porções).
