Salted or unsalted butter — saturated-fat-rich dairy product.
~100 kcal per tbsp. Easier to portion than oil because it stays in place.
Best for
- calorie-dense add-ons — 81g fat / 100g adds up fast
- people who struggle to hit calories on low-fat food only
Watch out
- tablespoon blindness — eyeballing oils and nut butters wrecks logs
- stacking multiple fat sources in one meal without noticing
How to log it
Use a spoon scale or package grams. 1 tbsp (~14g) is the practical unit in the app. A “drizzle” is still food.
Where it fits the day
Use as a controlled add-on, not the free condiment zone. One measured serving beats three “light” pours.
