Awesome! Thanks guys for all your tips!!!!
Everything sounds so good...lots of different ways for me to try now! :-)
(I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to spray nonstick pans...whoops! Good to know!)

Butter. Typically a TBSP...1

I purchased one of those copper pans and with a quick burst of Pam everything slides right out. I like this $20 pan much better than my expensive nonstick cookware. I am considering buying a whole set of it.1

My favorite way to make eggs though is a frittata (rather than an omelette) - with a large thinly sliced potato and an onion spread on the bottom (I cook them first in the pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and enough water to simmer them in until they are done, with cover on) then I take the cover off to cook off most of the remaining water; I add fresh spinach, 1/2 cup of cheese, sometimes pancetta, and cover with 8 eggs that have been blended and top with salt and pepper. I cook covered on low heat until the eggs are set, then, I run it under the broiler (still with the lid on) until the top is set.
It makes 4 generous servings that are filling and taste great cold, with the added value of giving me some resistant starch.
Oh, that sounds delicious! I'm going to give that a try this week -- thanks!1 -
Butter.1

I use a nonstick pan plus a few sprays of olive oil from my Misto sprayer - which is an alternative to disposable cans of nonstick spray (plus you can use any sort of oil you choose):

For my two scrambled eggs, I use 2 g of butter, which is about 15 calories. If I'm out of butter I'll use olive oil.1

Hey guys - do you all use butter, oil, or spray to cook your eggs in? If butter or oil, do you measure it out? How much oil do you use? A tablespoon of butter is 100 calories...oil usually 120....so a lot of calories just in that alone!
For omelettes, do you fry up your veggies first in whatever your fat of choice & then just pour the egg in once they’re softened?
If it's a savoury omelette then I'll use olive oil, I usually have mushroom and spinach in savoury so I'll use 1/2 tablespoon to cook mushrooms and spinach then another 1/2 tablespoon to cook the actual omelette.
With a sweet omelette I'll use 5g of coconut oil to start the bananas frying and then just add the egg straight over the caramelising bananas.0 -
Cooking spray.
Omelettes make me gag now though.0 -

A Tbsp of butter would be an *kitten* ton of butter for an omelette or frying up some eggs...
I use about a tsp of butter or coconut oil cooking spray when we have it on hand.0 -
Spray oil.0

Always butter...I feel oil makes it come out too greasy and cooking spray doesn't keep the eggs from sticking a bit to the bottom.0

My husband bought me some Racheal Ray non-stick pans for Christmas and you don't need any oil!0

We used to use olive oil exclusively but have made the switch to avocado oil for anything we fry because although we tried to stick to low temps when using olive oil, sometimes you're just in a hurry. I don't mind the calories because I don't eat a lot of other fat (I use low fat dairy, skinless chicken breasts, trim my meat etc).0

Usually canola oil spray. If I saute veggies first, then olive oil.0

I use a non-stick pan so that you don't need to use anything. However, if I'm looking for added flavor, I might use a spray butter or spray olive oil - not Pam though.0

Maybe this is a stupid question, but aren't sprays like "Pam" 0 calories?0

For about 1/4 of a second sprayed. Legally a product can say it’s 0 calories if a serving has less than 5 calories.2 -

Just enough butter to coat the pan. I weigh a stick of butter first, zero out my scale, and then weigh the butter after rubbing the pan. It's usually around 10 grams - which is 60-70 calories.0
