    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.

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

    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).

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

    Omelettes make me gag now though.

    What why?

    My friends SO apparently had an egg issue growing up (Forced consumption maybe?) and he literally gags at just the smell- it's the most bizarre thing ever- I live and die by the egg.

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    They can say 0 cal for anything < 5 cals per serving. And a serving is 0.25 second spray. I'd guess most people spray for 2-4 seconds. So it could theoretically be 4 cals per serving, 16 cals per second. Not earth-shattering but not 0. It's oil, just very finely misted oil. If you end up with a teaspoon of Pam floating around in your pan, it's the same as pouring in a teaspoon of oil.
