Margarine vs Butter?

For awhile now I had thought that buying low fat margarine was better and healthier than real butter. I made a switch to using real butter for a month and I've lost weight. I thought the 100 calories from just one tablespoon would kill my calories but not really. I was also talking to my sister who's an RN for 20 years and she told me that she's been using real butter for 15 years.
So my question is... What do you think? What do you use?

I use the spreadable butter with canola oil if I am going to use anything at all. Margarine doesn't come into my house. The taste is better and the fat in it won't kill you.0

As long as you hit your calorie and macro goals it's largely irrelevant/personal taste.
I have marge on my toast (it spreads better from the fridge) and cook with butter (obviously tastier for sauces)..0 -
Real butter.
Both for flavor and simplicity. Fat is tasty! Everything in moderation right?0 -
I'm way more concerned about the overly processed fake stuff in margarine than any of the fat that's in butter.0

Butter, baby. All day long. Fat macros on lock.0 -
We switched about 6-8 months ago to only butter. I no longer buy margarine of any kind. I use a butter bell to keep it in so it's always soft which means I can use less because it spreads thinner.0

Real Butter and not that fake margarine crap. My husband asked me to switch years ago to butter and it took me some time to adjust to the taste. It was much sweeter than I liked. I can not imagine ever eating margarine again.0

Definitely real butter.0

I've read studies that have disproved that margarine is better for you than butter. This is what I use:

What does this sentence even mean?0 -
Real Organic Salted Butter I use salted butter and that is usually the only salt on a great deal of my food.
I tried to limit my butter intake for some reason (one of those trying to fix something that's not broken moments) and this lasted less than 24 hours, I was a mess!0 -

This!!0 -
I use margarine. has nothing to do with the fat in butter but butter to me seems really salty and I like the way margarine spreads0

real butter for me! sometimes i only use a half a tablespoon instead of a whole, but generally it doesn't affect my calories too much. it tastes better, so to me, it's worth fitting in (same with regular mayo).0
