The healthiest spread for bread is light margarine and Vegan olive oil spread.

Margarine is healthier than butter and the healthiest spread as margarine tops butter when it comes to heart health.

Margarine is made from vegetable oils, so it contains unsaturated "good" fats — polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

These types of healthy fats help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol when substituted for saturated fat.

Healthiest substitutes for spread instead of butter include.

    Olive oil. Combine some olive oil with basil and pepper for a zesty spread.
    Nut butter. Peanut and almond butter can easily be spread onto toast or crackers.
    Cheese. Try cottage cheese, cream cheese, or ricotta if you can tolerate dairy.
    Avocado.
    Hummus.

Toasting bread doesn't change its nutritional value, but it may decrease the glycemic index.

Toasted bread calories aren't any fewer than un toasted bread calories.

Toasting also doesn't affect carbohydrates or gluten; it may lower the glycemic index of bread, which is an advantage.

One to two tablespoons of butter will give you 100-200 calories of fat and that might keep you feeling full for a while.

However, you will not get any of the other needed nutrients that a good breakfast can provide.”

It also may not help you lose or maintain a healthy weight.
