I'm back to MFP after quite a break. For breakfast I like to have a small piece of organic toast which keeps me going until lunch quite often. I used to always put honey on it and log 25 calories for a tsp. Then I decided to switch to a thin spreading of butter as I hot fed up of the sweetness of honey. The calories in the butter were much the same as the tsp of honey from memory but I may be wrong. I've now decided to drop the butter and have found a product called agave nectar which is like very thin honey and is 13 calories a spoonful. However, there has been so much in the press this weekend about how sugar is our enemy as opposed to fat I'm interested to hear what people on here think. If the choice was between a sliver of butter or a tsp of agave nectar, which would you choose?

    Whatever you like better. Few grams of fat or sugar vs your daily intake are fairly inconsequential.
