What is the lowest calorie nut butter substitution for peanut butter?

Peanut butter just has too much fat and too many calories for me..
i know that its a dumb question to ask but my body just does not process fats all that well so i end up gaining weight if i try to incorporate peanut butter.

Pistachio Butter will be the lowest in cals and fat, For 1/4 cup of peanuts there are 403 cals and 35 grams of fat. In 1/4 cup of pistachios there is 317 cals and 26 grams of fat That is almost a 100 calorie differenct and almost 10 grams of fat difference.

Here is a recipe of pistachio butter
2 cups pistachios
3 tablespoons of canola oil
¼ teaspoon salt
one tablespoon honey (optional)

Directions

Powder nuts or seeds in a coffee grinder or Vita-Mix. The powder should be as fine as you can get it although a few chunks are OK. If using a Vita-Mix be careful not to blend too long as this will heat the nuts and denature the fatty acids. Chilling your Vita-Mix container beforehand and storing nuts in the freezer can help prevent heating.

Transfer to a food processor. While processor is running, add oil one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. The consistency should be a little runnier than your normal preference as raw nut butters must be refrigerated which will cause them to thicken. The amount of oil you add will vary depending on the type of nut or seed you are using (some nuts have a higher natural oil content than others). Add seasonings as desired. Seasonings will depend on the type of nut butter being made. I have found that a dash of sea salt and a teaspoon of honey taste great with almond butter. When your nut butter is made, transfer into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator. Oil will separate during storage so stir before using.
