    Mustard... that sounds surprisingly good. I might try this, but of course not with the same brands.

    How much spray? You know it's only '0 cals' if it's a 1 second spray, right? If you keep spraying until there's a inch deep layer on the pan, there's probably at least 2 or 3 cals.... :laugh:

    a serving size on the bottle said 5 sprays, its not the kind you can just hold down like pam grease spray... its a pump spray, so i used 5 sprays.

    I do this with the Healthy Life high fiber wheat bread and they are 35cal a piece and low carb.. Not trying to one up but this bread to me tastes just as good.
    2slices Healthy Life bread
    1 Slice store brand fat free cheese
    and a quick spray of olive oil pam spray or smart balance light butter with canola

    im a snacker, so, im always looking to get the most for the calories. if i can figure out a way to have 3-5 snacks within my calorie budget, im good to go!!! that was my problem that helped get me fat. a 500 cal snack here, a 500 cal snack there, and maybe a 500+ cal midnight snack... then my regular meals, i was easily eating about 3000 cals a day, due to my snacking, so... i get pretty excited when i find good snacks for low cals!

    Yes, you can get it walmart and I see it at our local grocer "schnucks" but they make a white or wheat and also hotdog/hamburger buns!!!! it's 35cal a slice and 16 grams of carbs for 2 slices of bread. the hot dog buns and hamburger buns are 80calories.

    Sounds good! I'm a little jealous of the products you have access to in the US. Here in Canada we have a more limited selection. The lowest calorie bread I can find is weight watchers TINY slices for 110 per 2 and half the time they are overweight so they are actually more like 60 each.I haven't been able to find that butter spray either :ohwell:
