I can't believe it's not butter - SPRAY

I use it instead of butter....kinda creeps me out though how it has nothing in it....no cals, no sodium. no nothin!

Its good, I use it when I feel like I really need something extra on veggies or toast

It's great! It gives you that butter flavor without being butter! Woohoo! It's items like this that make calorie counting worth it!

I sometimes use it on veggies, on my toast, otherwise I find those too bland/dry. It helps give a hint of butter, without all the fat and calories. It is still a fat, so if you used it in the same quantity as butter, there will be calories there too, but in 5 sprays, the amt. of cal. is negligible, but the flavor is still there (altho not near as good as the real thing, but better than nothing, to me anyway!).

Your better off using just regular butter. That spray has partially hydroginated oils in it wich is trans fat. Alothough the container says there is no trans fat there is. Its such a small amout that the don't list it but it does add up. If you read the ingridients on the container you will see a paragraph of chemicals and other crap that is hard to pronounce. Butter (suprisingly) is simpler. Though it has more calories, your body doesnt stor as much of it as fat.

If something is too good to be true, it usually is. Read this: http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/06/01/i-cant-believe-its-not-butter-spray-is-full-of-fat-buyer-be/

Ms.Debbie Downer right here!!! Let me feel skinny, please! :flowerforyou:

I like it and now my daughter thinks it cool to spray her bagels in the morning.

FYI - the ingredients in this stuff is as follows:

water, liquid soy bean oil, salt, sweet cream buttermilk, xanthan gum, soy lecithin, polysorbate 60, lactic acid,
(Potassium sorbate, calcium, disodium EDTA) used to protect quality, naturally and artificial flavors, vitamin A (palmitate), Beta Carotene (For color).

It should be noted that this stuff really isn't ZERO calorie - they make a serving size so small (one spray) that they can round down to zero. Since it's thinned with water and lechithin (same thing they do with cooking sprays), there is certainly fewer calories per volume compared to regular butter/oil, but it's still not calorie free.

They are allowed to round down to zero calories if it has less than 5 calories per serving. So, it's less than 5 calories per spray - let's say it's 4 calories. If you spray 10 sprays on your potato (which isn't hard to do!), that adds up to 40 calories! Definitely not zero...

Personally, I think I'll stick with real butter, and just use it sparingly.

I love smart balance light. Also, land o lakes light butter spread with canola oil is pretty good, but the texture is a little oily.

I pulled this from the link above.

I Can't Believe it's Not Butter spray has zero calories and fat ONLY IF YOU USE 1.25 sprays. WHAT!? Who does that? If you use any larger portion though.....you're screwed. And how exactly do you accomplish a .25 spray?One teaspoon bags 20 calories and 2 grams of fat. Most people never read that fine print. In fact, most folks I know claim to pour it on their rice, pasta, and bread because they truly believe it's a completely fat-free product. Who knows how many thousands of fat calories these poor people have been unknowingly consuming for years? Do you think it's fair and reasonable for them to advertise ZERO CALORIES on the front of the bottle?
When I lecture on fitness I always address this topic, and I can't tell you how many jaws come crashing to the ground when I drop this information bomb. First looks I get are of shock. Second looks I get are of pure anger. They feel cheated and they have every right to. Of course, it would be nice if they read the ingredient lists which lists OIL as it's number two ingredient. But I still feel bad for the consumer, because they are lead to believe the product is completely fat-free and can be used at leisure. Fortunately though, I've found an amazing substitution which is legitimately fat-free, low in calories and delicious. I even bake with it!
Smart Squeeze by SmartBeat (SmartBalance) is the product I discovered many years ago, when I caught on to the ICBINB deal. The main ingredients in Smart Squeeze are water, food starch, and salt. The serving size is one tablespoon which yields only FIVE calories and ZERO fat. The taste is spectacular as well, just like creamy butter. And if you don't trust me.......trust the thousands of folks I've introduced it to during those lectures. Do I work for Smart Squeeze? NO! Would they be smart to hire me? YES! That's irrelevant to you though.
I make a habit of convincing my audiences that there are delicious and healthier options to butter and oil by walking around the room and squeezing a little drop of Smart Squeeze on everyone's finger. They all light up with excitement for the taste they love without the curse of weight gain to go with it.
So. Having said all that. If you love ICBINB and don't care about all the fat, by all means....continue using it. (Or just stick to that 1.25 spray) If you're looking for a legitimate low calorie, fat free option........try Smart Squeeze by SmartBeat.

I like it on my popcorn! That's the only thing I use it for, so it's not very often. But you're only supposed to do a few quick spritzes- tastes delish!

The article also doesn't mention that there are 15 mg of sodium per 5 sprays.

I found a mister that you can add your own olive oil for a spray. You pump it up and it uses air to spray the oil onto your pan.

Also, on a baked potato, I use plain low fat yogurt instead of butter. It tastes alot like sour cream.
