Q: It’s hard for me to choke down “healthy” foods like broccoli or baked potatoes without putting butter on them. Is it going to ruin my diet if I put a slab of butter on these foods?
A: Butter is one of those foods that have gotten a bad rap over the years, mostly due to its fat content. However, in moderation, that little slab of butter you put on your food only has roughly 30 calories but will help you feel fuller longer.
Oh, and the fat that gives butter such a bad rap? It is composed of stearic and palmitic acids, which research shows has no effect on your cholesterol (and might even improve it).
To answer your question though, if a little butter gets you to eat more veggies then the benefits far outweigh any negatives.
