to spray or not to spray...

i love the spray too, but if you look at the ingredients they aren't exactly calorie free...

no one knows how many calories, fat grams etc is in more than 5 sprays!

light-moderate spraying is proabably fine, but if you are using the stuff up really fast (and 900+ sprays per bottle), I think there would be some cals/fat etc...

Lets think about this logically here...
Apprently there is 0 cals per 5 sprays...
Lets be realistic and over shoot and say there is roughly .9 calories per 5 sprays...(less than 1... so the company could say 0.. i dunno)
900 servings divided by 5 spray intervals = 180 servings
180 5 spray intervals multiplied by 0.9 calories per 5 spray interval =162 calories

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........... If you were to eat the entire bottle in one session.. the worst case scenario would be 162 calories which, if pure fat would only be 18g of fat.

If you are a total butter spray whore... and are using 100 sprays per meal(which is 1/9th of the bottle) you would be getting 2g of fat or 18 calories per serving....

I really don't think these calories will add up to much...

LOL

heres an idea.....measure how much 5 sprays equals to, or any quantifiable amount of sprays and then.....look at the "spread" and get the calorie count for 1tbsp. there's calories in them thar sprays

and i know someone who uses.....more than 5 sprays.

Check your local grocery store for a brand called "Smart Balance". They have both mayonaisse and butter products that replace all of the bad fat with good fat. I use the light mayo which is the only one I can actually find(not sure if they make a non-light version) and it has only 6g of fat per serving and tastes just like real mayo. Those lowfat versions usually add sugar to replace the fat but this one doesn't have too. I love to make tarter sauce by adding lemon juice and dill relish to eat with my fish.

Also the butter is about 9g of fat per tbsp, and as I said it's all the good fat. If you can be this happy with 5 sprays of the fake butter then a simple teaspoon of this stuff, which is no doubt more than 5 sprays worth of the other, only has 3g. I often put a tbsp in my green beans or peas for extra flavor when I'm having a protein + fat style meal.

If you add this stuff to your diet then you can lay off the flax oil and other products you use to get in your good fats without losing the flavor of your favorite fatty products. I can guarantee you the butter and mayo taste just like the real thing since in fact they are, just healthy fats are used.

I recently bought the "Smart Balance" butter...but I haven't had the heart to switch from the spray. The spray just feels "guilt-free."

I was really wondering if the spray butter has anything in it that would make it "bad" for me. That's why I posted the picture of the label...
