I would say it's a level teaspoon. Otherwise it would be too easy to scoop a heaping scoop of the sticky stuff and have about 3 servings rather then one.

I've been doing ok without or I thought I was. What has got me thinking now is the Peanut Butter problem. I bought a big [by UK standards] jar of the no sugar added stuff since everyone on here seems to put it in everything. I started adding it to my Oats instead of powdered almonds which cost about 5x per 100g. I use Fitday which has a measure of PB as a tablespoon which seems fine. I was just taking a fairly big scoop with a desert spoon and calling it a tbsp. Problem is now I realise I am way more than half way through the jar which is 450g. Fitday says a tbsp is 8g of Fat and I have accounted for 10 tbsps so far which is 80g worth. Yet the Jar looks like there is probably more like 160g missing. Normally the odd gram here and there is fine but if I have been having twice as much PB as I thought then that’s a big chunk of calories. I'm using a tspn now to account for a tbsp. Maybe I won’t buy anymore once it’s gone which won’t be long at this rate. Ramble ends...

honesly no one needs to measure peanut butter to the extact gram! an approxmaite will do..it's not like a few grams extra/less is gonna make a big difference. i guess if you're measuring peanut butter to that exact, u probz be measuring your meat portions that you eat exactly as well, and milk to the exact ml? ;).

I think I do need some scales. The thing is here a sensible looking set cost about £50 which is $100. Thats a lot of peanut butter.

honestly you may have to mesure a little at the start of your program, once you get accustomed to your daily intake and portion size you will be fine without measuring everything.

I measure my peanut butter in grams. I have a digital food scale I got at Target for like $20 that measures ounces AND grams.

Hello

Everyone on here seems to talk about Peanut Butter, a lot. Therefore I have been on the lookout for some.

I finally found some Peanut Butter without added sugar so I bought some [UK]. On Fitday.com it has a measure as a tablespoon. Is that like a level tablespoon?

If so its not a lot - If not its loads!

Hence the dilemna - I dont really want to try weighing the stuff.

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks...
