Peanut butter's reputation for disappearing by the spoonful is earned: two level tablespoons cost about 190 calories, and few tablespoons are level. It is genuinely nutritious — mostly unsaturated fat with respectable protein — which is different from being light. The honest method: jar on the scale, spoon out, log the difference.
