    Whatever. I feel you OP. I know there's nothing wrong with fat but I don't waste my fat calories on butter. I prefer to spread it out throughout the day and eat avocado and ice cream.

    Have you tried using 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil? It spreads further than butter and provides a buttery flavor, but less calories and fat.

    Toast drizzled with honey but of course I like the pairing of butter and honey a lot better :wink:

    I love rice bran oil. Has a hint of buttery flavor without the overwhelming grossness of buttery-ness (I loathe the taste personally).

    Everything's better with Blue Bonnet on it.

    If you think it's butter but it's not. It's Chiffon.

    I like greek yogurt spread on my toast--nonfat works fine. Sometimes I mix it with cheddar cheese powder -- doesn't take much, so it doesn't add a ton of fat.
    Neufchatel (low-fat cream cheese) is also good.

    You should have plenty of fat for butter (my choice, tastes better) plus some on salads, and toast plus butter is probably going to be more balanced and filling than just toast (although to be honest neither fills me up one bit). Are you on a very limited diet? (I understand there are medical reasons to reduce fat or sat fat sometimes, but if the concern is just weight loss going over on fat makes no difference, although I also found, for saving calories, just reducing the amount of butter or oil I used in cooking or on salads was useful -- a tsp and not a tbsp, that sort of thing.)

    Another idea, not fat free, but with less fat, more protein in its overall calories, is to eat it with an egg and drip it in the egg (that's the main reason I ever eat toast in the morning) or to add hummus or baba ghanoush -- sounds good to me, actually!

    Fruit butter? I especially like apple butter or pumpkin butter in the fall.

    Not me, @mitch16 is the fruit butter poster, so I will call her to answer the question. ;-)

    I'd like to use my fat later in the day on salads Etc

    Are you concerned about fat per se or fat because it is high in calories? I go over my fat target every day but only worry about my total calories.

    One teaspoon butter = approximately 33-34 calories. Can you just use less than you are now?
