Margarine contains more "good" fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) than butter. It also contains no cholesterol because it is made from vegetable oil. However, solid margarines (sticks opposed to tubs) can contain trans fats, the worst fat of all.
Butter contains more saturated fat than margarine.
Be sure to check nutritional labels when deciding between butter and margarine. Both should be eaten sparingly for a healthy diet. You can also find healthier butters that have olive or canola oil.
