is it just the spray or all types of their butters?0

sounds like just the 0 calories sprays0

WOW....thanks for the info, all I use is spray butter, thinking I was saving on calories & fat...LOL0
-
wow thats pretty bad. Its kind of similar to a spray I use that says 0 calories but you know its not really... lol. Instead of lying to everyone, they should make the portion size bigger, at least to make it say, 5 or 10 calories worth of a spray.0
-
it was devastating news to me too LOL and I agree they are being sneaky by making the serving size so low to avoid listing the calories0

MFP has the cals for 25 sprays, which i believe is 20 cals and 2g of fat. i think/hope thats accurate.0

Here is the break down
12.5 sprays has 10 calories and 1 gram of fat,
25 sprays (1 teaspoon) has 20 calories and 2 grams of fat
37.5 sprays has 30 calories and 3 grams of fat.0 -

so sticking to light butter...I refuse to count out sprays LMAO0 -
Yeah, but a serving is supposed to be 1 spray.
If you thought a label that says "0 Caloires" really meant that it contained no calories, then you aren't familiar with the labeling guidelines. It doesn't mean the company was lying to you. Under the guidelines, less than 1 calories can be listed as 0 calories.0 -
There are a lot of products out there that do this. Splenda's "no calorie" sweetner comes to mind. It ISNT 0 calories they just exploit the UDSA's definition of calories per serving.

I have heard this before so I knew it wasn't zero calories. The problem is ppl are taking the spray nozzle off and just pouring it over their bread or vegetables. So yea, whereas who cares about 10 cal's, it could be a few hundred and we all know how that can make a difference.
Here's one for you, .... how is possible for Sobe Lifewater to have zero cal's yet 6 carbs????0 -

The last time I looked at a "serving size" for a spray, it was a one second spray. With that, you likely get minimal calories, possibly even enough below 1 calorie to qualify as a zero calorie food. All in all, I'd rather use a heart healthy oil like safflower or olive oil and take the hit for the calories.0

I agree, this is just as bad as McDonald's being sued for hot coffee. Well no *kitten* buttercup, you expected ice cream?0 -

Really?
No plastic tasting sh1t for me...I prefer real butter.0 -
What kind of idiot takes the top off and pours it over food? For that matter, who the heck sprays one serving of food with even 10 sprays? I think the product works fine for people who are smart enough to read labels....0
