I have a huge problem with measuring stuff.
Anyone got a pic of what one tablespoon of peanut butter and what ONE CUP of cooked rice would look like?

I agree. 1 tbsp of peanut butter is SO small. Actually 1 generous tsp is about a tbsp.
I've had a couple digital scales, just get one that has both grams and ounces min. Some have a separate zeroing button from the off button too (mine does). Should be no more than 20-30 USD.31-26-36.

Most digital scales are within 2 grams. I bought one in Aus recently for $40 AUS, so about 35US.
Just go to walmart.
IMO, it is an essential device whilst cutting if one wants to consume almonds, PB, flaxmeal, etc, otherwise your guesses could be very wrong.
I even use it for chicken/kangaroo/sweet potato/oats now, although I don't worry for non-starchy veggies (does anyone here weigh brocolli - would be impressive dedication!!).
And yes, a 25 gram serve of PB is not very much. Kinda disappointing really.

lol, I usually don't have to. If I'm weighting out something like 48 grams of peanut butter I'll measure the weight of a metal spoon and then use that spoon to dig out peanut butter until I get the correct weight. That way only 1 thing needs washing.
I got my digital scale at Walmart for about $30 USD. It was definitely worth it.

I got mine at target. It weighs grams and ounces and has a tare button (zeros it out). It's not on the page of this link but here are a few.

also go to amazon and search for food scale. Happy shopping- if you spend more than $25 you should get free shipping.

I just picked this one up and it has worked well so far. It has a lot of good reviews on Amazon too:
