Butter has lots of concentrated calories. However, there is a difference between pasta calories and butter calories. Which is, butter calories are from fat which take longer to digest and therefore you will get hungry slower than from pasta which is mostly carbs.

Another benefit of fat is that it does not require insulin to process digestion. Pasta and sugars will quickly release insulin. Eating carbs frequently causes frequent release of insulin. That leads to insulin resistance in muscle cells. Which then causes diabetes type 2.

But definitely watch quantity of fat, because it has lots of calories.

I ate tons of butter when on a low carb diet. Lost so much weight! I understand several factors worked together, but if butter were fattening I’d have been in big trouble.

Well, if all the food items declared “this is bad for you” by various FReepers really were “off the table”, there’d be nothing to eat...
