Tag: Tablespoon vs scoop

Protein scoops are not a standardized unit of measurement, and it is very rare for 1 scoop of protein to equal 1 tablespoon exactly, with most scoops containing significantly more powder. This disparity is a common source of confusion for supplement users, especially when the included scoop is lost or misplaced.

According to a study on caregiver accuracy, measuring powder incorrectly happens frequently. Over 9% of measurements were off. This shows how important it is to measure correctly. Is a formula scoop the same as a tablespoon? The answer is no, and understanding why is important.
