Lowest Calorie Nut & Seed Butters: A Nutritional Comparison

Question
Hello, Lawrence,

I just love love love nut and seed butters, but find that I eat too much of them at one sitting. And -- of course -- the calories add up.

So I'd like to learn which have the least calories. Could you help me out?

(And by the way, I always buy raw whenever possible.)

Thanks!
Jan
