Low fat cream cheese. Mix a bit of lowfat or sugar free jelly in with it and spread away. A trick I learned at Weight Watchers years ago.
olive oil margarine or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter margarine and the less calorie one is 35 calories for 1 tsp
This is what I got while I was in the hosiptal after I had my baby, It tasted just like butter and it was really good. I got this off of their website they have it in reg, light or fat free....

Smart Balance is a lower-calorie one that still tastes good, and there are spray butters that are good too (but those work better for veggies). As for your pancakes or waffles, you can help improve your nutrition by substituting some whole wheat pastry flour for AP. If you're not totally stuck on butter, try some no-sugar-added jams, honey, or real maple syrup (the good stuff) on them. Though honey and maple syrup have a lot of calories, they also have a lot of nutrients.
