Question

What is the best way to measure the amount of Peanut Butter one eats. I usually eat 3 teaspoons of the stuff a day. The teaspoons I take are not whopping but definitely not just enough to cover the spoon and I just don't know how the hell to tell what a serving is. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

go to any dollar store and you can probably find a measuring spoon. i have a changeable one, so if you want less you just move this little thing down a notch and it blocks off some of the 'spoon end'. it has measurements and the largest is a tablespoon, which happens to be what peanut butter is measured in on the nutrition guide

I weigh it or estimate, based on the size of the blobs that I've seen when I've weighed it before.

It's too hard to get out of measuring spoons anyway and I'm either smearing it onto something or putting it into a smoothie, where a knife is easier, or eating it right off the spoon, where a normal spoon is my preference.

Thumbs up

Thanks guys. I'll probably go get that measuring spoon at the dollar store. Sounds like a good idea for me just because I always eat the Peanut Butter straight off the spoon.
