These tidbits would work well with weighing, if one wanted to do so. I would put the plate and cracher, celery, crisp bread on then turn the scale on or tare it if measuring early. Then with a knife put peanut butter until it weighed 16 grams. A knife & plate to wash and no leftover nut butter on the measuring spoon. However, much more important, is actually exercising portion control in a habitual manner. Your right about the taste being more important than a heaping amount.

Karen, You really get it. Exercising portion control in a Habitual manner is such an important point. These pictures demonstrate the REALITY of how much one tablespoon of peanut butter is. Actually, when I personally choose to have celery with peanut butter, I usually choose to use 1/2 or 1/3 of the celery stalk which results in making the celery stalk look more full. HOWEVER, here I purposely chose to use an entire celery stalk so that I could drive my portion control point home. The rye-crisp and the cracker thins are exactly the same as I ususally eat, when I choose to eat those foods.

I love this. I've been creating "meals" in a notebook, writing down combinations of foods between 100 and 300 calories, using your ideas and techniques. This is where the 100% plant based diet threw me, because they don't allow any added fats, and the deprivation constantly derailed me. The Ryvita whole grain cracker with just a tablespoon of PB looks great. One of my favorite meals right now is 4 ounces of baked potato with a teaspoon of butter! I noticed from your photos of your daily meals that you have a large variety of food from day to day. I want to try having more variety of food around because I get bored easily but I don't want to fall off because there's so little variety in the house that I run out and get junk food. My food scale is out on the counter top now. :)

Thanks Carolyn. One of the most surprising ... and difficult to consistently believe.. is HOW SMALL 1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter really is. It's hard to get rid of the idea that 1 glop of peanut butter isn't 1 tablespoon or even 2 tablespoons... when that glop is usually at least two to four times more than what we THINK it is. And, since 1 TB of peanut butter is about 100 calories (like regular oil or butter) that misjudgment can be very important. People who would never consider just eating a stick of butter will say they ate the whole jar of peanut butter ... and a half of a (small) 8 oz jar is about the SAME calories as eating a stick of butter. Even after all these years, I always weigh and measure most foods, and I'm especially careful with things like cheese, butter, oil, nuts because such a very small amount has high calories. I STILL eat those things frequently... but even now it is very easy for me to eyeball an amount of those foods and judge that amount as 2 or 3 times smaller than they actually measure out to be.
