Recently I found out that the serving size of peanut butter is much smaller than I’d believed- apparently you’re meant to level it off! I’d previously avoided peanut butter since I mistakenly thought I was only getting about 200 calories from my “two tablespoons” of peanut butter, and it made me feel very full so it seemed inefficient (I’d heard it was a good food for gaining, but didn’t understand the hype)- but apparently, what I thought was just a single serving was actually 3 or 4 servings, around 700 calories! That’s far more than I’m usually capable of eating in a single serving of any anything, so I’ll be eating a ton of peanut butter now that I know.
Are there any other foods like this, with deceptive serving size information that makes them much better for gaining than they first appear?
