Tonight I poured some out of the bottle to saute some mushrooms and I spray it liberally on toast and microwave popcorn. The nutritional label says that 5 sprays is 0cal but I wonder how much you would have to use before you would count this as a point. Several tablespoons a day? Has anyone found the information for a larger serving? Up until now I haven't been counting it as anything, even if I use it on toast, for cooking, and on popcorn all in one day. |

I looked it up at calorieking, 1 tsp is 20 calories and 2 grams of fat and 1 point. 1 tbsp is 60 calories and 6 grams of fat and 2 points. 25 sprays is 1 tsp. so if you use 25 sprays a day, I'd count that as 1 point per day. If you use more, you need to calculate accordingly. |

When I looked for more info on the toppoing spray, it says this: Great for topping and cooking, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spray is the perfect choice for fresh veggies and grilled chicken. Fresh butter taste at your fingertips with zero fat and calories and no Trans Fat per serving. I think it is the fat free product, which means: fat free (5 cal/tbsp) |

It says 0 calories, 0 trans fat because its true... for 1 serving, it has no calories. Multiple servings is different. They do have a fatfree spread but not a fatfree spray |

| Senior Member Join Date: Sep 1999 Posts: 8,974 | I Can't Believe It's Not Butter makes a spread that comes in original, light, and fat free. As far as I can tell from their product page, the spray only comes in one version, the one we're talking about in this thread. Here is their product line up: I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Products. The reason they can say it's zero fat and calories per serving is that they define a serving as a 1/3 second spray. And there are 904 servings in the bottle using this definition! In reality, it has major calories -- 900 per bottle. |

Would these taste ok? Has anyone tried them? Just wondering if it would be better for things like veggies and popcorn. I would still use the spray on toast I guess. |

You'd be a lot better off using canola oil or EVOO instead of I can't believe it's not butter spray to cook with. The stuff is margarine, which usually has transfats. If the ingredients include partially hydrogenated anything, then it has transfats - which is absolutely worse than real butter. Personally, if I want something to have a butter flavor, I use a little butter. I probably eat about 1tsp of real butter every day in or on something and it's totally worth the 1 point in my opinion. You can add butter and canola oil in a pot/pan to make the butter flavor spread around further and the canola oil counts as a healthy oil. Remember that if something seems to good to be true - it probably is. |

| Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2011 Posts: 1 S/C/G: 295/185/170 Height: 6' | Hey, Im not new to WW, I started at 295 8 years ago, lost 130lbs & have kept it off until recently I had spine surgery, now Im 185. So while Im not new, I have a trick, I like to eat the 100 calorie microwave popcorn, but Im curious If there are hidden calories, or health concerns, so feedback would be great. My trick is that i spray the popcorn with butter flavored pam cooking spray. The label says it has no fat, calories, or anything, but it tastes great, with a sprinkle of salt, like the movies. Thoughts? |
