Is butter a carb? Why or why not?

[Lucy68]

This question was inspired by one of my favorite movies of all time, Mean Girls, and from when I was making breakfast in the morning by putting a lot and I mean a lot of butter on my pancakes 🥞.

Yes

No

Maybe

I Don't Know

Regular butter is almost pure fat, and fat is not carbs. There is some salt in butter. If you use unsalted butter you can really notice the difference. There is an insignificant amount of carbs and protein.

I think there are some types of butter that retain a small amount of the milk sugars. But those are specialized and not common.

"Sweet butter" is not really sweet and has no more carbs than any other butter. That just means it was made from pasteurized milk.

Nope. It's animal fat. It usually* contains lactose that is technically a sugar and carbs, but amount of it negligible. Majority of butter is fat, than milk proteins.
* with usually I mean dairy products made for EU, export dairy product often have removed lactose because some reasons.

How is butter a carb, it literally has no carbs... It's a Fatty fat fat

[BoopBoopBeep]

Whoever said yes is an imbecile or misclicked. It's not some great scientific mystery. Butter has.01 grams of carbs per tablespoon of butter. Butter is a fat. Anyone from 4th grade up has learned that. There's a reason we grease pans with it. We don't' grease pans with a pat of dried noodles

[Massageman]

Butter has 0 calories of carbs, but 11 delectable grams of fat!

Sugar free! Zero carbs. Yummy as heck. What could be more perfect!!!

[NathanDavis]

[Mark987]

Butter is made up of mostly fat. Either way it is not good for you.. but it does make food taste good

[Lliam]

It actually is good for you in moderation. You need to consume a certain amount of fat to stay healthy.

[SawerBrown]

According to the USDA 1 Tablespoon of butter has 0 carbs.

[LiamJHayden]

You'd have to eat more than 3.5 lbs. of butter to get one carb, so definitely not a significant source.

[Babygirl_S]

No, it is full of harmful saturated fats and makes me want to vomit.
