I put a small amount of Kerrygold butter (the best by the way) on my 1 piece of toast in the morning. How should I measure it?

But it's not even a measurable amount. Like maybe less than half a teaspoon.0 -
It probably weighs a few grams. A teaspoon of butter is 5 g.7

Food scales measure in grams. Like Jruzer said. I'll bet it was more than a half teaspoon. One teaspoon is about 35/40 calories, so log it as 1/2 teaspoon and move on.
Three teaspoons in a tablespoon.11 -

I put my plate on the scale, press tare, then put my slice of butter on the plate. And always weigh in grams!4

These negligible amounts add up REAL quick throughout the day or week

Put toast on plate, put plate on scale. Zero scale (TARE). Add butter. Review weight shown on scale. Log.5

Right??? Because the butter melts. You'd keep adding and adding until your bread was soggy, and you'd still see it.3
