21 grams serving size is such an odd number to me, everything here has a rounded serving size and also a mandatory 100g serving size and it feels easier to compare. for this peanut butter it tells a 100g and a 30g serving size. i think that its because the 21g one uses table spoons as a measure but if im calculating my macros i will use math, i wont use spoonfuls, like am i a toddler to think in spoonfuls? :laughing: anyway ill just do some math. the one that im eating is a german brand called Maribel

jiff / maribel

5.71 kcal per g / 6.58 kcal per g
0.48 g fat per g / 0.55 g fat per g
0.24 g carbs per g / 0.1 g carbs per g
0.19 g proteins per g / 0.28 g proteins per g

so it seems comparable. i dont really understand how to read nutrition tables. jiff has a lot more carbs, more than double. im guessing more sugar? im not sure how to read the sugar label on jiff. whats this “includes 1g added sugars” under “total sugars”. thats so weird

if they had used more oil to make it more creamy, i would have expected a higher fat content. but it has less fat. so im really not sure how to understand this

actually, a potential explanation is that this peanut butter maribel is actually creamy. it says in the label that its creamy. and it says it uses palm oil. so it just feels to dry to me personally but technically its creamy and comparable to jiff probably. maybe jiff is the same? and i just find the whole thing dry, not sure

no wait its says 1.2% peanut oil. it doesnt say how much % palm oil

i cannot read your post this pop up youtube video window is so good to my brain

your nutrition labels are per 100 grams (which, yes, as you noted, sure does make comparing things easier!) but you can’t just make everything a serving size of 100 grams

in general vegetable oils offer little nutritional benefit and are often full of lots of calories, simple sugars, fatty acids, oh and they can become toxic if cooked incorrectly

there’s like a bajillion different types of oils and each is different so it’s not as simple as “vegetable oil bad” but fundamentally foods with them added often take on a lot more risk of being unhealthy with little benefit from a health standpoint

I just realized that adrenaline and epinephrine have the exact same literal meaning (substance from “on” the “kidney”) but the first is latin origin (ad+renal+ine) and the second is greek (epi+nephros+ine)

HOW DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG TO NOTICE WTF

yes ive known they’re the same hormone, but dude they also have the same prefix and root meanings wtf

My mind is blown
