Is this too much for a teaspoon? []https://us.v-cdn.net/5021879/uploads/editor/xu/adhw7gfbhjyx.jpg[/img

Do you have a real tablespoon or a food scale?1

That's completely inaccurate. And way closer to a tablespoon than a teaspoon. A teaspoon dollop would be close to the size of your thumbnail.
Spring for a $2 set of actual measuring spoons and a food scale.4 -
Something that calorie dense should be weighed in grams8

Neither. Get a food scale. And prepare to be shocked when you discover what the actual serving size is.10

Neither. Food scale.3

Neither. Both are innacurate. I weigh it by placing the jar on the scale, taring, then scooping it out.4

That would be closer to 2 servings.1 -

They're not shown actual size. You have no idea how big that spoon is in reality.1 -

even if you were to use these,the PB could not be heaped up meaning you would have to level the PB off and it still could be more than you think. measuring spoons are only accurate for liquids.1 -
There's a Dollar Tree store in the city you live in if your profile is accurate. Most of them carry measuring spoon sets for a dollar. It's not as good or as easy as a food scale, but it might give you a cheap alternative until you get one.
It's hard to eyeball serving sizes online.1 -

I'll get one though. The spoon is quite small and flat. I always thought it would be 35 calories when I used it
Even if it were a teaspoon, it would more like 65 55 calories than 35 calories. But as others have said, that's clearly more in neighborhood of a tablespoon (unless you have hands the size of a three-year-old's, since the hands are the only thing providing perspective in the pix).
Edited b/c I forgot it was almond butter, not peanut butter.2
