Choose your plan ArrowRight What’s the healthiest pick? You could opt for a drizzle of olive oil, mashed avocado, hummus or even low-fat cottage cheese. But many people would prefer dairy butter, margarine, plant or vegan butter or spread, or nut butter. And among these, there are a few considerations. “Many spreads are mostly combinations of different oils,” says Amy Keating, nutritionist at CR. “Some have more saturated fat, but others have mostly ‘good’ fats that can be healthy additions to your diet.” Complicating matters, you may have heard that some studies have suggested that saturated fat is not such a dietary villain. That’s just not true, says Alice H. Lichtenstein, the Gershoff professor of nutrition science and policy at the Friedman School at Tufts University in Boston. “The data clearly indicate that replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat decreases heart disease risk,” she says.

(But butter doesn’t provide as much of the nutrient as do orange-colored fruits and vegetables, such as carrots.) Cons: The big one is saturated fat. A tablespoon of butter has about 12 grams of fat, around 7 of them saturated. (If you’re eating 1,800 calories daily, you should be trying to keep your saturated fat intake to less than about 20 grams.) It’s high in calories, too: about 100 per tablespoon, an amount that doesn’t go as far as you might think on a dinner roll or baked potato.
