The only reason I don't use real butter is because I'm lactose intolerant. Otherwise I'd use real butter. Since I can't, I use Smart Balance.
I'm lactose intolerant as well, and the only two things I can eat are butter and some brands of yogurt. If I eat ice cream, or cream of any kind, or regular cheeses (that are not lactose free), I have some major problems. But, not with butter.
I'm jelly. My belly knows if there is any lactose. Any. >:(0 -
bad part is...this contains oils etc...but this is also not calculated...while we need it for our daily nutrition0

The best thing about cheese... any cheese that has been aged over 30 days has no lactose in it. The lactose ages out of it. I eat me a lot of aged cheeses.0 -

I knew aged cheese don't have lactose, but I didn't realize it was cheese aged over 30 days. Thanks for the info.0 -

Yep! 0 -
When I want butter, I eat the real thing. And log it. I also use good oils for cooking and sauces.0

I eat real butter. Usually 2tbsp of the Organic Valley Cultured Pasture Butter. Most of the time I eat it on some sprouted toast or a bagel or something, but if I don't have the calories for that, I will sometimes just eat it off a spoon by itself. Absolutely delicious. Those fake, crappy margarines aren't worth the calories that they have.
Between the butter, nut butters, coconut oil, and red palm oil, I have wonderful skin and hair. Don't replace the healthy, natural fats in your diet for cheap processed oils. If you want a lower calorie alternative, look into whipped butter. It's basically just regular butter with air whipped into it so that it has fewer calories per tablespoon. Kerrygold makes a great one.0 -
It has to be real butter (or oil) or nothing, I can taste the difference immediately, can't do it.
For alternative spreads on sandwiches, you can try pesto, hummus, avocado (all good but also high cal). Lower cal: whole grain mustard, and some stewed vegetable spreads (I like a particular sweet red pepper spread myself)0 -
I use olive oil the most, coconut oil the second most, but I like butter too. Don't see any reason to use margarine over butter when butter tastes better.0
-
Personally, I prefer butter for flavor and it just cooks better. If you want to a margarine spread, you might look for ones that are trans-fat free, otherwise go for it.
Hopefully all the nutrition conscious people here realize that up to 1/2 gram of trans fat per serving can be in a product without it being listed on the label. I assume all fake butters (margarine) have trans fats because to make a liquid oil into a solid it is hydrogenated. I could be wrong and some other process may be utilized in some but hydrogenating is the most common method.0 -
I use country crock to spread, like on toast/waffles, and then real butter for cooking/baking and anything that requires it to be melted, like popcorn. Hubs uses the country crock by default for everything.0
-
Butter. Discovered Kerrygold butter several months ago: game changer. SO good.0
-
I don't do butter at all, avocado with olive oil, salt and pepper smashed as spread is better and healthier option i think. I use non stick 0cal butter spray though. It doesn't change the taste as you use just a little.0

This is exactly what I do. And my boyfriend refuses to use real butter on anything except maybe some cooking.0 -
Butter EVERY time, I just spread it thinly

i use butter where butter is called for...but i use far more olive and avocado oil.0
-
I use real butter for toast and to cook meat in. Other meats I use olive oil. I grew up on "I can't believe it's not butter!". I still think it's gross. And now 30 pounds later I love regular butter in moderation.0
-
Real butter. But only a small amount and when the occasion truly calls for butter...like toast. But I cook with olive oil.0
-
I use both. Just depends on what I am doing with it. That being said, it HAS to be KerryGold butter or nothing for me.0

I have heard that real butter is actually better for you knowing that it is pure ingredients rather than all those fake ones in the spreads. Thoughts ?? What do you use??
How I feel about fake butter:
0 -
I don't use margarine or butter very often, but I use both on occasion. The margarine I use has added plant sterols and has no partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.0
-
use what you prefer. I use light margarine, for taste, spread ability, and cost. real butter is 4 bucks a pound here.0
-
I use margarine because it's cheaper per serving than the spreadable butter I used to get. I'm mostly concerned with price than if something is "real" or "fake".0
-
I use butter every day to fry my eggs.
Taste.So.Good0
