To butter or not to butter ????

suvmom03103

I am curious of how everyone feels about those "fake" butter tasting spreads (that have a lot of additives that I can't even pronounce ) vs. REAL butter. I have heard that real butter is actually better for you knowing that it is pure ingredients rather than all those fake ones in the spreads. Thoughts ?? What do you use??

I use butter.

I prefer butter. Margarine is primarily vegetable oil.

queenliz99

Yep butter

Don't get hung up on *kitten* you can't pronounce. If you judge food by that you would probably die from dehydration.

I use real butter in moderation. I've lost 21 lbs over the last few months.

Real butter

I cant believe its no butter with olive oil scores a "B" on my foodicate app. But yes. normally the real thing is usually better as long as you don't go overboard.

Also, olive oil is a good alternative for cooking.

The only reason I don't use real butter is because I'm lactose intolerant. Otherwise I'd use real butter. Since I can't, I use Smart Balance.

Personally, I prefer butter for flavor and it just cooks better. If you want to a margarine spread, you might look for ones that are trans-fat free, otherwise go for it.

I think you nailed it. Too many additives in margarine and fake butters. I prefer butter because it just tastes better and is wonderful for baking. I think butter, along with eggs got a bad rap in the 90s, but it seems as though the research is proving that better is better.

Butter. I don't eat it much, but given the choice between the two, I'd take butter every time.

Fake butter because I don't eat dairy. I don't use it often though, maybe like once a month.

Seriously. Don't fall for the "I can't pronounce that so it must be bad for me" shtick.

Whether or not you use fake butter or real butter is personal preference.

Me.....I like REAL butter.

I'm lactose intolerant as well, and the only two things I can eat are butter and some brands of yogurt. If I eat ice cream, or cream of any kind, or regular cheeses (that are not lactose free), I have some major problems. But, not with butter.

I use real butter, except for on my toast - I use the butter/canola oil blend b/c it spreads straight from the fridge. But I weigh my butter and butter/canola ... then I KNOW how much I am using!

PaulaWallaDingDong

I like country crock for spreading and frying, but for pretty much everything else, real butter. It's all good.

I just grab butter in the brown container. I have no idea if it's real or not. Didn't know there was such thing as fake butter.

BWBTrish

i use both

First (fake) butter sprays or PAM has calories too. A full container of PAM has about 568 calories..you eat those:)
So i calculate in my diary about 50 calories a day for what i call the "zero *kitten*" department. Just for these kinda things Because believe me it adds up too.
I use popcorn spray also nothing ....right lol full container over 500 calories. So that 1/4 spray HAS calories and is NOT zero.
for people who use a bit oke
But i use a lot, so i calculate those. I do about 10 days with a spray so 50 to 70 calories A DAY right there.

the down part...it also dont calculate the fats you get, which you need in your diary. A shame too
So i correct those too

and i use normal butter.

So popcorn and cooking an egg i use my sprays, meat i use butter etc


I do both!

I LOVE BUTTER!!!!! But I usually use the stuff that has a better fat to calorie ratio than anything else.... I don't know if it's fake or not...
