the cheapest one. At home I have asda brand olive spread and at work I have a kerrygold one with honey because it was on offer. it's very nice but I have no idea what the fat and sugars are; I don't log things like spreads because it's too fiddly and i don't think i eat enough of it for it to make such a difference.0

good old regular butter. ...no artificial margarine in this house....:sick:0

Vitalite is my favorite. Good flavour, only 32 cal per serving!0

I use Olivio Light0

The Olivio Light has 50 cals per tablespoon, and 5g of fat.0

I use I can't believe it's not butter! I don't taste a difference and it's way lower on calories and fat.0

I only use butter and only when a recipe calls for it. I don't put butter on my bread, potatoes, veggies, popcorn or anything else anymore. I thought it would be hard to do, but I don't even think about it anymore.0

same!
Moderation is key... I would rather have a little extra fat and calories than the stuff thats in the artificial stuff.0 -
We use Smart Balance, however, for many cooking applications, I like to use extra virgin olive oil. I guess it just depends on what we're making.0

Earth Balance, Sucanat, and organic cold pressed olive oil, canola oil, and sesame oil depending on the level heat I'm using.http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#0

For cooking, I use butter for dishes that need butter flavor to taste right, olive oil otherwise. (Canola and corn are too high in Omega-6 fatty acids.) A lot of things that I used to butter I've learned to use nothing. For instance, if you're having toast and fruit preserves, you truly won't miss the butter after a couple of weeks without it. I use Butter Buds on things that have liquid. If you put them on a baked potato, I find it's more like the real thing if you add some fat free yogurt or sour cream--Butter Buds don't work well on dry foods. Hope this helps!0

For just eating, I love smart balance with olive oil! For cooking though I use real butter or soy margarine. In general, limiting how much butter/oil I use when cooking has made a HUGE difference in the calorie counts of my favorite recipes.0

Like on toast? I never understood why people put butter then jelly on toast. Just skip the butter!0

Unsalted ORGANIC Butter. Go for the real stuff. The "fake" butters are loaded with chemicals that aren't natural for our bodies to absorb.0
