Myth: Use reduced-fat peanut butter to cut calories



The difference between reduced-fat peanut butter and regular peanut butter actually won’t make a difference in your calorie intake. One serving of creamy peanut butter has the same amount of calories as one serving of reduced-fat creamy peanut butter—about 190 calories for two tablespoons. In addition, peanut butter with or without salt also has the same amount of calories. For a lower-calorie spread, try PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter, at only 50 calories for two tablespoons.
