    Well it looks like my 2 Tbsp of peanut butter is more like 4 or 5 - I guess I shouldn't have asked the question

    Imagine my shock when I discovered barely over my TBSP was the 30 grams. If you're good with underestimating, don't use the scale. Same with my cup measures--they are way off.

    1 TBSP ~ 15g, not 30. Sorry.

    I refuse to get a scale/weigh my food. I use a tbsp measuring spoon and level it off with a knife.

    Nothing wrong with that as long as it's working for you. If/when you hit a stall/plateau, at least you'll know exactly where you should look first as the source of it and how to fix it.

    A tablespoon is the bigger spoon. A set of measuring spoons is really helpful if you want to get one.

    Yes, I hardly every have peanut butter banana smoothies since I got a digital food scale and had to stop lying to myself about what was 2 T.

    Peanut butter! Totally worth the calories...measure it, weigh it, hug it, love it...eat it.
