TRUTH ABOUT "O CAL" SPARY BUTTER!!! MUST READ!!

All I know is it's like anything below 5 cals can be 0 right? Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

I only use my it 2-3 times max and spray very little lol, non-stick pans don't need much. I really only use it for eggs come to think of it...

does it really matter if it is 0.9 calories per spray and not 0?

If its just the spray stuff you spray on pans to stop food sticking, is that the stuff we are talking about?

I believe that they are able to round anything below 5 calories to 0. That is problematic when you are overusing something that was supposed to be used in very small quantities like spray butter. If people spray it for 5 seconds you could be looking at 80 calories or so. I could be wrong though!

Is this even real? You aren't going to get fat from spray butter. Even if you're a weirdo and use 40 sprays, you'll be fine.

lol

There's only 37 calories in 5g of Lurpack Slightly Salted butter - this is more than enough to add to a portion of vegetables.

Who can't manage 37 calories in their allowance?

It's not about being able to manage it in my calorie budget or not. If I eat something that contains 37 calories, I want to log it, and know just how many calories I am eating.

Saying "it's just a few calories why does it matter" (as some on the thread have done) well it does matter, because I still want to log it. Also, it adds up, and thirdly, the maths in incorrect. It may be a small deal to some people, but to me it's the maths equivalent of confusing they're, their and there. 0 x anything = zero. So a million servings of a zero calorie item should still equal zero calories. In the UK, if it contains such a small amount of something, they will put "trace" not zero. This, at least, is mathematically correct, because a trace of something x a large enough number = a significant amount. (and the quantities have to be much smaller to say "trace" - you don't find 4 calorie servings listed as "trace" they're listed as 4 calories.)

Also, some companies make serving sizes ridiculously small, so if I eat that food, I might eat ten servings of it. 4.9 calories x 10 = 49 calories. Again, it might not seem that much, but it's still an amount I want to log reasonably accurately, because it all adds up. I don't want to be told something has zero calories, when it actually has some calories in it. I'd rather buy it from a company that lists how many calories are in it, rather than one who messes around with serving sizes in order to fit their product into this loophole.

Really, this should just be common sense and not a surprise revelation. When you see something advertised like this, a simple read of the ingredients should tell you that you can't consume (in this case) this "0 calorie" butter substitute in great quantities and not expect it to count in your daily calorie goal.

So if I spray 5 shots of this stuff on my rice, I'm going to add 4.5 calories to my intake?


Holy first world problem.


Honestly, 0.9 calories per spray? Spray it on your beans, one good fart and you'll work that off. The stuff people obsess about simply amazes me.

AMEN

So each spray is a whole calorie? Big whoop. A few extra calories isn't going to kill you.
And to everyone obsessing about this one calorie, create it as a new food in your journal as a .9 calorie food and call it a day.
