Butter, Anyone?

I watched a little video on CNN.com this morning about a recent study comparing the long-term weight loss of women eating different types of breakfast. I won't comment on the scientific validity of the study (which seems a little shady), but I was intrigued by one thing. These are the sample breakfasts that the women were to eat:

Group 1:
Two slices of whole-grain bread
2 slices of cheese
3 pieces of deli meat
1 pat of butter
2 glasses of milk
1 cup of coffee

Group 2:
1 scrambled egg
3 pieces of bacon
1/2 pat of butter
1 glass of milk
1 cup of coffee


Group 1 was the clear weight-loss winner, by the way, but that's not my question. What I want to know is: what did the women in Group 2 do with their 1/2 pat of butter?
