:help:I just had some potatoes and put a tablespoon of butter on them. The real butter is high in saturated fat. Has anyone tried any low fat butters or butter sprays that taste good and are lower in fat/calories?? Thanks so much!!

I like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray...zero calories. For mashed potatoes, I just open the cap and pour a little into the pan before I mash them.

Yeah Baby! I discovered spray butter and it's wonderful. You need so much less of it because more butter is spread around from spraying...just try it and you'll see. It's less than 2 bucks a bottle and I find coupons all the time. It's the answer to your question!

I am headed to the grocery tomorrow and spray butter will be in my cart! Thanks for the insight!!

Land o' Lakes (I am pretty sure) also makes a light butter with canola oil. It's 60 calories to butter's usual 100 and it's pretty good.

My DH brought home Heart Smart squeeze butter...it's really tasty. I like Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray and tub, also.

Low fat butters can get dodgy. I'm an organic sort of gal so if I were looking for a low-fat butter I'd make sure it didn't have any hydrogenated or trans fats in them. Trans fats can cause all kinds of damage. Of course, I'm sure you're not going to be slathering it on everything so I'm not really sure about the kind of damage a small amount can do. I believe Benecol and Take Control butters are low in both saturated and trans fats. I can't vouch for their taste, though (I've never tried either).

I can't believe it's not butter Spray is the best!

Smart Beat! Its so good!!

My vote is for the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, that stuff is awesome!

I use the spray as well. Even my kids like to use it.

for a little zest, buy powdered ranch - yum yum

I think Smart Balance is the best. It has the best taste and texture out of all of them, plus has NO trans fats and also helps lower cholestral. They have one with added flax and an organic one as well. Good stuff.

I use Country Crock Light Spread. Tastes just like the regular, but a lot better for you!

I use Benecol Light. My doctor told me about it when my cholesteral was high. It is made out of plant sterols (or something like that). It brought my cholesteral down over 50 points in 6 months without any medication. I even like the taste of it.

My vote is for the spray butter. I even use it on chops and steaks. It makes them go down real easy.
