Butter for Cooking

[Emersyn 10]

So I was told that natural butter was better to use than say....margarine. And I haven't had any issues so far. But I read to avoid it. Though I thought butter, real butter, was better to grease a pan for say, eggs, rather than processed stuff like in margarine.

Thoughts?

Butter is better than margarine in that it does not possess partial hydrogenated oils. Some natural styled oil spreads now gave cold presses or expeller pressed oils. After WLS, depending how far out you are, your choice of fat will vary. Consult your team, stick to your plan and always use the least possible, unless its free truffle butter... Then use it all lol

What about sprays? Havn't used it much but it's what I used to cook my scrambled eggs week 2. Guess I should look at the label........

Yes, butter is the way to go. I use butter. Love butter.

I've recently had success cutting down on saturated animal fats (for health reasons only - I love butter for god's sake!) I really enjoy the way my eggs taste now. I use a great non-stick skillet, rub the entire surface with a dash of olive oil before heating, then add a teaspoon of butter just before cooking the eggs. A great pan is key!

yes read the labels carefully, some sprays have other things in them too like propellants, a lot of companies are trying to remove questionable ingredients though...
