People get fat on butter? Really?

Margarine does NOT have less fat than butter! That is absolutely false. Read the nutritional information labels or look it up on NutritionData.com: margarine is 99%-100% calories from fat per serving, butter is 100%.

Butter and margarine are not 100% fat. Butter is about 81% and margarine ranges from 75% to 80%.

Look it up in the MFP food database.


As for the question: butter. Always. I NEVER eat margarine.

Butter every time. Marg is basically plastic and full of artificial crap and in comparison tastes like sh**

^This. I don't have artificial anything in the house. I eat Primal so it has to be clean for me. I wouldn't have margarine if it were free.

Neither on sandwiches etc. I either have nothing or low-fat, low-cal cheese spread (laughing cow light)
If I'm cooking something, depends on what it is. Cheese sauce for lasagne - margarine. Don't know why, but that's my mum's recipe and I'm not changing it.
Anything else tends to be butter. Pastry, mashed potato, onion sauce etc

I don't have either on things like veg or new potatoes either. Used to, but I can live without it and the extra cals are useful sometimes

I've used butter once in 7 months. I prefer olive oil. Margarine is nasty and I'd never use it.

Olive Oil, or GF Butter (Unsalted)

I would never recommend using margarine for the following reasons:
1. It's disgusting
2. It's fake butter
3. Flavorless
4. Did I mention it's a butter substitute....aka Fake Butter
5. I read somewhere that margarine is one molecule away from being plastic....and it was once used to fatten turkeys. Not that i care, because of the above reasons for not eating it. But science sometimes helps, especially when I forget to put the supporting facts with it :0/

There's a difference? :indifferent:

I hardly ever eat the stuff, anyway, because when I do, it's normally something so sinfully good and requiring syrup, like waffles. Mmmmmm.

BUTTER always. Margarine = no way. We buy the Full Circle Organic brand butter. It's actually a good price.

Olive oil is something I use often as well.

Butter ... like the taste much better and it doesn't contain all the stuff I can't pronounce.

And that's, like, two electrons away from being a hot glue gun stick.

Butter, Coconut oil, Olive oil, and cooking Spray(Pam)

Butter is the clear winner here folks!

I bake with butter for the flavour and texture, I use oil for cooking (olive or grape seed usually), and I like margarine for the occasional slice of toast or whatever. It's easy to spread and comes in a 10-cals-per-teaspoon option...easy choice. I don't use any of them that frequently but I'm not a believer in clean eating.

avskk

Yogurt butter is my preference, margarine a distant second. I've never particularly liked regular butter, though.

VpinkLotus

I use land o lakes light butter with canola oil.

I rarely eat either. Haven't bought either in 4-5 years probably. Any recipe that needs it I just don't put it in. If I'm at a restaurant Iight put a little on a sweet potatoe or a roll. But other than that I don't eat it.
