Olive Oil and butter

[jacquelynn22 24]

Butter and Olive Oil, are you still using it? If you've chosen to substitute what are you using?

i'm 5 years post op. i have both butter and olive oil.

I had them during weight loss phase as well, just in lesser amounts.

I use extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil (I cut out butter whenever possible)

Used butter & olive oil while losing & still do now. Don’t use a lot of butter - about a teaspoon to toss my vegetables in - & go months (5 or so) between buying a new 1lb tub. I use olive oil spray quite often & will cook meats in the oven with a spray of olive oil (if needed) versus cooking with olive oil in a frypan.

yes - you just have to watch your amounts.

I have at most, two small slices of bread a week so I have butter on it. I fry my one egg a week in oil. I am not on a diet. I have just changed the amount that I eat

i had this for lunch today: 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwich. probably used about 1.5 - 2 tsps of butter for the whole sandwich.

I use both in limited amounts, but I still use them. The only cooking oils I use are olive oil, avocado oil, and a blend of grass-fed butter and olive oil. I bought an oil bottle that you squeeze out a specific portion so I can easily monitor how much I'm using as I'm cooking instead of having to mess with a measuring spoon.

It looks like this. It's very convenient. https://www.amazon.com/KITLAB-Dispenser-Sprayer-Refillable-Measuring/dp/B0BTSJPV9N/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?crid=8SYM6O2A1LBX&keywords=measuring+oil+bottle&qid=1695756449&sprefix=measuing+oil+bottle%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-4-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Still use olive oil to roast veg, little butter on occasion on veg, or when frying an egg (rare). Have you tried ghee? In a previous diet where i was told to cut dairy, i remember enjoying ghee— it is expensive though.

If you didn't know, Ghee is just butter with the solids taken out. It burns at a higher temperature. Do what the Asians do - make it yourself with regular butter. Much cheaper
