tbs, is it small or large spoon?

Just weight things. Apparently a tablespoon of peanut butter is 20g...I could easily get half a jar on one tablespoon! I just use a digital scale (unless we are measuring tbspns of water, or broccoli, then I guess)

I would not recommend using actual spoons for measuring anything that can be heaped up (peanut butter being the classic example). If you want the weight to match the volume for calorie counting, it needs to be level or even under level sometimes. I usually just weight out my PB since it is so calorie dense and being off a "little" could be 5% of my daily calories from one spoonful.

I recognise that a Tablespoon is 15 mls in some countries and 20 mls in Australia. My questions is "Does MyFitness use a 15 ml or a 20 ml Tablespoon in calculating quantities?"

the data entries made by individuals are largely American and very likely to be 15 ml. It's a US site.
