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. 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 -

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 -
More than a teaspoon. I would use tablespoon for that amount... probably a bit more than 1.
If you are guessing then guess high. Get actual measuring spoons if you want to know for sure. Better yet get a food scale instead of using spoons to measure almond butter though. It is easier and more accurate.1 -
I measured out 16 g of peanut butter and took pictures showing it on scale vs dining spoon vs teaspoon vs tablespoon.
scale-
dining spoon-
teaspoon-
tablespoon-
spoon size comparisons (I used the 2nd dining spoon for the peanut butter photo)-

That looks like well over a tablespoon, maybe even close to two. You have hundreds of calories on that spoon.1
-
it looks like a tbsp0
-
Ikea has measuring spoons for like a dollar. I could send you some.1
-
That looks like at least a tablespoon to me also. Peanut butter is dangerous to me without a scale nearby! Way to easy to eat a few hundred calories worth1
-
Your hands look small, maybe that perspective changes how big the spoon looks in comparison0
