Vegetable shortening should be OK to use as long as you make sure there isn't any lard in it. Crisco has a vegetable shortening that's safe. Like any other fats, it's only safe in moderation, but for a loaf of bread 2 T should be OK.

Otherwise, you can use two tablespoons of margarine, as long as it's dairy-free. I wouldn't recommend using "tub" margarine, as it's lower-fat because half of it's air and water.

If I misunderstood and you're actually asking for a sub that's going to be low-fat or fat-free ... I'd try just 1 T of margarine/shortening and see how it turns out. It'll probably be coarser and get stale a little faster. If it's a yeast bread, it should be a little more forgiving of the omission than a quick bread.
