Hi! So, my jar of PB2 says it's 45 Calories for 2Tbsp or 12grams. I normally just take a measuring spoon and take 2 tablespoons, but today, I decided to weigh out my PB2. It turns out, 1 tablespoon of PB2 is 12grams!!
By only using a measuring spoon before, have I been eating 90 Calories of PB2 all along, thinking it was only 45 Calories? (or did they make some sort of labeling mistake?)
I know 45 Calories isn't much, and I don't need to worry about it too much, but sometimes I eat a lot of PB2, and the Calories quickly add up.

    45 calories is right. I think the problem is how the measuring spoons are loaded up. I can get 1 1/2 cups by weight of flour in a 1 cup measure just by scooping it from the package as opposed to spooning it in and leveling it off.
