So homemade peanut butter ( just pea nuts) is only 116 calories for 2T according to a couple sites. i hope that's true cause I just made some for tonight. Just about a 1/3 cup peanuts and some water. how many calories would it actually be?

    Weigh your peanuts before you add the water and it will be super easy to tell how many calories are in your finished product.

    Well, according to the USDA, 1 cup of peanuts has 828 calories, so that would put your entire recipe at 276 calories.

    Most natural peanut butters that only contain peanuts and salt are around 210 calories for 2TBSP.

    Definitely pick up a food scale if you can. It will make your logging much more accurate!
