Natural peanut butter (peanuts only) — protein-and-fat-dense spread.

~95 kcal per tbsp. Most people serve 2-3 tbsp without knowing — measure for accurate logs.

Best for

  • calorie-dense add-ons — 50g fat / 100g adds up fast
  • people who struggle to hit calories on low-fat food only

Watch out

  • tablespoon blindness — eyeballing oils and nut butters wrecks logs
  • stacking multiple fat sources in one meal without noticing

How to log it

Use a spoon scale or package grams. 1 tbsp (~16g) is the practical unit in the app. A “drizzle” is still food.

Where it fits the day

Use as a controlled add-on, not the free condiment zone. One measured serving beats three “light” pours.
