Ok so this might be a very strange question but tonight I want to have some brown rice with some crab meat mixed in with it.. I wanted to spray it with the buttered flavor PAm and alittle bit of seasoning because the spray has 0 calories with the buttery taste..I was just curious about the cons of this spray if there are any?? Thanks!

    What do you mean? Like spray it on top of your food as a flavoring or in the pan while you are cooking???

    hungry girl uses that a lot in cooking. IDK if its the butter flavor.. but I dont think that makes a difference. I use it to spray on my chicken strips when I bake them to get them crispy.

    I use it (the olive oil kind)

    I find no 'issues' with using it at all.

    Check the label I think more than a short spray may add up to 'some' calories.

    Just use a bit of olive oil spray - it's only 0 calories if you use a tiny bit, but if you are covering your food, it's not as good and it's completely fake.

    Or just suck it up and use a tiny bit of real butter, heat the rice in a pan with the butter and toss to coat - it's only 25-50 calories and you will be more satisfied.

    If you are looking to top already cooked food.. I would get the I cant believe its not butter spray.. I think its minimal calories per spray.

    After the food was hot in the bowl and cooked I was just going to spray alittle on it and mix it up.

    This is my go to when I make scrambled eggs or chicken. Just watch how much you use because the calories quickly adds up!

    I am pretty sure that PAM is made to be used as a pan spray - not a food flavoring agent. You might try the olive oil pan spray (it is in most cases just olive oil and propellant without unnatural flavorings) or the I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Spray (carried near butter/margerine in the grocery store) - it's low in calories too, and won't have the chemical taste.

    yeah, I wouldn't spray it on top. It doesn't ACTUALLY have that buttery of a taste. You'd be better off with something else, personally I'd use real butter. You'd only need a TINY bit and it it's really so much better for you. No chemicals or anything.

    It is 0 calories if you do a 1/4 second spray which isn't very much at all. A 1 second spray is like 7 calories. I use the original canola oil one tho so the calorie count on yours might be a different, but it definitely does have calories.

    Just FYI, the 0 calories sprays actually have calories, but they are rounded down to 0. I think the law says that if it's less than 5 cals per serving they may write "0". So each spray is probably about 4 calories. If you spray a whole bunch, make no mistake - you are adding calories.
