About this food

Smooth peanut butter without added salt carries a fairly even three-way split of calories from fat, protein, and carbohydrate compared to most other foods on this list, though fat still supplies the largest share — around 51g per 100g against 22g of protein and 22g of carbohydrate, over 10g of which is sugar even in this unsalted, presumably unsweetened reference version.

Different peanut butter products vary meaningfully from these figures — many commercial jars add sugar, salt, and sometimes oil beyond what plain ground peanuts alone would contain, which shifts both the sugar and sodium numbers higher than what's shown here. The figures above specifically describe the smooth, unsalted USDA reference product, not any particular brand.

Peanut butter's combination of protein, fat, and some fiber (5g per 100g) makes a small serving fairly filling relative to its size, though — like other nut-based foods — its calorie density means a typical serving is a comparatively small amount by weight (commonly two tablespoons, about 32g) rather than a large one.
