By the way your title spells margarine wrong. It is a no no because it does have carbs read the nutritional info at the back and compare it to butter and you'll get what I mean.

It's not always about the carbs ... it's about the ingredients. Many margarines have trans fats. What one do you have and what are the ingredients?

>>Modified Palm and Palm Kernal Oils 16%,>> That wouldn't be something I'd want to eat. I'd wait until I could get some butter. Put some olive oil on your green beans.

Besides tasting terrible, margarine has trans fats. Yep, the same margarine that the FDA told everyone was better than butter  From what I've heard, palm oil can mess up people's clotting factors but I'm no expert.

I'll definitely be picking up some butter tomorrow. Green beans and pork chops for Induction dinner tonight. Yummy!
