Nut butters

[Guest guest]

Evening all. This may be a bit of a no brainer but here goes. Does any one know

how to work out the calories in homemade nut butter? I know most people on here

are more bothered about good nutrition rather than calories, however at this

moment in time, for me calorie counting is the way it needs to be. Obviously I

can check the calories before I start but the quantity reduces so I'm kind of

stuck. Would I need to measure it out afterwards, tablespoon by tablespoon? Or

is there a better way?

Thanks very much in advance

If you measure how much you add to the VM (e.g., 3 cups of dry-roasted peanuts) and google the calorie count (like from this page) you'd come up with 854 x 3 = 2562 total calories in your final peanut butter. If you then add it to a mason jar with quantity lines and figure out how much you take at any serving as a % of the total, that'd be your answer. A little convoluted perhaps but not too bad.
