I love butter on my toast in the morning, I use Country Crock Margarine 1 Tbsp is 70 calories and 70 fat calories-- is there a "healthier" butter or butter imitation?

    I like the 0 calorie parkay spray butter. It tastes great!

    I recently started using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter lite, and I was really surprised at how good it tastes. 45 calories in a TBS and 5 grams of fat.

    I use that spray also!! I really like knowing I'm not using any calories on my bread and it taste pretty good. I would of course rather have a tabl. of real butter on my muffin or bread, but sometimes you just have to sacrifice a little....

    I used to love butter too but now I have completely cut it out. I have switched toast with butter to whole wheat cinnamon swirl toast with apple butter. It's a really good alternative with less calories.

    but lots and lots of carbohydrates. i'd rather stick to fats. much healthier.

    MMM another good one is Pumpkin Butter! Don't really know about the calories but it tastes great. Haven't had any since I started MFP but hoping to can my own this fall!

    According to one of my fitness magazines, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light is the best butter substitute so that's what I buy. It's made from natural things, is lower calorie than butter, has less fat, and tastes pretty good. I also like Smart Balance Heart Right Light.

    i still prefer real butter. i just use less of it. and unsalted if you are watching sodium. the two of us use about one stick every 2 weeks.

    I use Smart Balance Light for baking; light cooking spray for cooking.

    People! People! Stop eating that processed crap!!! You are depressing me greatly :(

    Use BUTTER. I love Kerrygold Irish butter. It comes wrapped in gold foil and it is in a league of its own.

    I use real butter, it's the best health option, and it tastes great!! I eat it sparingly though.
