    Did you smooth off the top of the tablespoon, or did you leave it heaped?

    Always smooth off sharply with a knife

    The product has probably settled (a LOT). I would count the actual gram weight and not the volume measure.

    omg, I am surprised how OFF the measurements are weighing vs measuring.

    I know, right?

    I've never understood the instructions on PB2. Isn't 1 Tablespoon supposed to = 15g?
    Really it should say 3 teaspoons to make sense.

    1 US tablespoon = 15 ml (not 15 grams)
    1 AU tablespoon = 20 ml

    I think liquids like water convert pretty neatly from ml to grams but I'm pretty sure that you can't apply that rule to all foods, especially solids.

    When I measure 1 tbs of Jif peanut butter powder and weigh it, it's says 14gm. Well the serving size for this is 3 tbs at 15 gm. Confused. Someone please help?

    Because they are specifying using a properly sized and calibrated industry standard "tablespoon" measuring device, loaded only to the rim and completely flat, packed at a density that they used when creating the labeling info.

    Forget serving sizes, tablespoons and the rest.

    Stick to grams.

    Pb2 is delicious. Especially chocolate pb2. Mix it in with some lite or low fat whip cream for "dessert" or either on bananas is good.

    It says 15gm for 3 Tablespoons.

    It should not be scooped directly from the package with your measuring spoon. It will over-pack and over-measure. It should be measured like flour (or other fluffy, powdered substances); lightly spooned into the measuring device and then levelled off.

    Of course, that's a pain to do with a tablespoon...so I just weigh it.
