Hi all.
Finally bought a food scale to track calories however it is already in accurate.
I tested the serving size of a few products and it is slightly inaccurate which I know its epexected but other foods I tested are widely inaccurate.
I weighed a serving size of peanut butter and what looks like a serving or 20g is like 5g??? Any issues to fix this?
Unless im overthinking. Any advice would help.

Try measuring something of a known weight, e.g. 500ml of water weighs 500g. If that’s wrong then I’d send it back.
Looks accurate to me. The bread is rarely gonna weigh exactly what it’s estimated to and that does look like 5g PB
It doesn’t look incorrect to me at all. The bread being 4g above the serving recommendation is well within the margin of error for the bread.
The teaspoon of peanut butter definitely looks like ~5g.
Weigh out 250ml of water in a measuring cup and if it’s within 2-3g it’s likely correct.
To test it weigh a quarter it should say 5.67g
The serving size is for a tablespoon of peanut butter. That spoon doesn’t have a tablespoon of peanut butter on it. I think you misread the label.
Scoop more peanut butter!
Your spoon looks to be a slightly bigger than a teaspoon but not the same size as a regular tablespoon. So it makes sense. Tablespoons are oval shaped and deeper. This spoon is shallow and round.
