Trish,
I know you directed this question to Heather and she might have a better answer for you but I thought I'd tell you what I have learnt.

1 egg is replaced by 2 egg whites, 2 eggs by 4 egg whites(so double it basically)

As far as butter goes I don't know whether it is a baking recipe or main meal you are making.

If it's cakes etc, I would substitute 2T canola oil and 5-6T applesauce for the 150g butter. As a rule I use 1-2 T canola oil for texture and the rest apple sauce. 1T is about 20g. I do it this way all the time and it always works.

As for main meals I always just sautee onions, chicken etc (whatever the reipe calls for) in 1T olive oil regardless of how much butter they ask for.

If you tell me more about the recipe I could probably help you. I've tried and converted heaps of recipes now and have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't.
