    not that I am complaining, but half a golf ball? Can that be for real?

    while it's fine to get pics and advice from others to me the most logical thing would be to measure on your own for a while and then see if you can dish out the same amount without measuring (how does doing this compare to the actual measured amount?). like your own brief experiment to see if you are able to guestimate accurately in the future. it's you that will ultimately be doing the measuring so best to do all the "learning" by trial and error/practicing. good luck.

    I got a digital scale from walmart for 20 bucks, I just put the PB on the scale and tare it and just scoop out the pb until it shows the number of grams I want. 1 tbsp = 16g

    The best way to measure a tablespoon of peanut butter without using a scale everytime, is to weigh the peanut butter jar, then fill a tablespoon (remembering the level) of peanut butter and finally to weigh the jar again. The difference between the first and second weight is the exact amount butter your spoon holds.

    i normally just use two slightly exaggerated tsp of pb so that I know i'm pretty close...

    3 tsp = 1 tbs.

    I use a food scale to measure my PB serving, and I measure it by GRAMS. And yes, I measure it down to the very last gram. Can't remember if it's 28,32, or 52 grams in 1 serving (1 tblsp) of peanut butter.

    I have a plastic tbsp and I always level it off to get a tbsp of PB, but I see different size tbsp's pretty often and always wonder if the one I'm using is accurate? If it says 1 tbsp and I'm leveling it off it has to be right regardless of the other size tbsps right? I would hate for my tbsp to be inaccurate because I use it for olive oil, PB, dressing, etc.

    Thats why you get a food scale and always measure it by the grams. That way you aren't guessing nutrient info.

    I wouldnt think so, because PB is much denser than Protein.

    grams is a measure of weight, not volume. The scooper holds however much volume it needs to for 36g of that product. Best bet without having an actual measuring spoon is to use the other links of pictures and comparisons.

    You could also but the jar on the scale, zero it, remove desired amount. No bothering with having to balance a spoon full of PB on the scale.
