I agree that the I can't believe it's not butter spray is really good. It will give you the taste you're looking for without adding real butter. I too LOVE real butter but am trying to stay away from it. Let us know how it goes! :scared2:

Be aware that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is intended to be used in miniscule amounts. I know that sounds terribly elementary, but I know many people who use it in volume as a butter substitute. Five sprays is a serving, and is considered fat-free.

A bottle of the stuff contains over 800 calories, and is decidedly NOT fat-free. If you open the bottle to pour it, then you're probably better off finding another answer.

I haven't really encountered many foods yet, post-op, for which butter is needed. When I do, I have a tiny bit of the real thing. A teaspoon of butter has 33 calories--not horrendous. And a tiny bit offers so much more flavor than the substitutes, IMO (and has the bonus of being...well, real.)

I like the Smart Balance kind, but nothing beats the real stuff :scared2:.

I use Olivo, which is a butter substitute made from olive oil, it not only taste awesome but it is really good for you. Please try it you will love it.

I have been using butter substiitutes and margarines so long that I don't even like real butter. I use the spray and it works great to give just the flavor without a lot of fat.

I don't use much butter so when I do, I don't deprive myself and I use the real thing. It's better for you than margarine anyway, but you one of the suggestions above to use Olivo is a good one. It tastes great.

I would always choose the real thing. Just in moderate amounts. I dont really believe in substitutes.

Well I use the regular I can't belive it's not butter when cooking, but just changed to olive oil. I still continue loosing with that, but I still use that butter on my food in the past I did use the spray and it is good I think im going to buy that too for when I wanna put it on my food.

I use regular butter because my portions as small and I don't use a lot anyway. So far so good!

Everything in moderation. Even too much of the 'substitutes' are a bad thing.

I use real butter but am just conscious of how much and how often I use it. No substitutes for me, please.

I would use real butter, every once in a while will not hurt you and besides sometimes your body needs the fat.
