The famous 2-tablespoon serving is about 191 calories, and almost nobody stops there. On the energy-density scale, 598 kcal per 100 g puts peanut butter at the very high end. Fiber is the standout at 5 g per 100 g, which slows a portion down more than the calorie count suggests.
A typical serving (2 tbsp, 32 g) has about 191 calories, and 100 g has 598 kcal. Calories scale with weight, so double the portion means double the number.
There are 22.2 g of protein in 100 g of peanut butter, which works out to about 7.1 g per serving (2 tbsp). Treat it as an energy source rather than a protein source.
Sugar comes to 10.5 g per 100 g, so 2 tbsp (32 g) delivers roughly 3 g. That sugar is already counted inside the calorie figures on this page.
Every value on this page comes from USDA FoodData Central, entry 174266 (SR Legacy). Serving figures are converted from the per-100-g data, so rounding can shift a total by a calorie or two.
