Everyone thinks that butter in small doses is not a huge deal. The thing is, it is. Butter contains high amount of trans fat, which is not good for your body. Not only does is cause you to gain weight, it clogs arteries as well. The recommended daily amount of trans fat is 2 g per day. Butter contains 0.3 grams of trans fat per tablespoon, and 7.2 grams of saturated fat. If you think about all of the butter you actually consume, you can see how it all adds up.

That is why is it important that you find an alternative for butter. I would suggest switching to, “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.” I tried and, and I have to say I enjoy the taste. And it really does spread like butter, with the softness of margarine. And the best part of it is that it only contains 5 calories per serving and no fat! Peanut butter is also a good alternative for butter when it comes to toast, sandwiches, and bagels. Try to cut out as much butter in your day as possible!
