This is a spray oil though. You wouldn't use it for salad or frying. You'd do a brief spray on a waffle iron or cookie sheet to stop stuff from sticking.
I agree 1500 servings seems like too many, but not wildly too many. I doubt I spray more than half a second of oil on a cookie sheet before dropping cookies on it. 800+ sprays seems perfectly reasonable. And at that scale, the actual amount of calories is a little immaterial.
No one is layering this into their food. Aerosol spray oil is more cooking tool than food you eat.
People wouldn’t use spray oil for frying? So you think half a second (which is double the vague 1/4 second serving size suggestion for this btw) is all you use every time, because I seriously doubt that.
800 is more reasonable? That’s almost halving the amount of servings in the bottle off the jump. I’m confused what your point is here. No one is using only .25g of this stuff or spraying it .25 of a second. You wouldn’t even be able to cover both sides of a waffle iron with .5 second spraying. This, again, obviously a way to misrepresent the nutritional information of the product.
Do you seriously look at 0g of fat for an oil product and think “oh yeah, this seems legit”? Regardless of its use it still end up on your food (especially for waffles…), more than 0.25g is going to be used in a given meal and 0cal is obviously bs. Wild to see people advocating for companies using deceptive nutritional information because “um well actually 0.25g is a really small amount” which is almost entirely beside the point.
Sure, it's a misleading label, but lets not pretend anyone is gonna accidentally eat 100+ calories of it.
Let's make a liberal estimate. Lest say it's actually 3cal/serving as listed. Let's say you spray it for 5s (way more than I've ever sprayed a bottle of PAM). That's 60cal for the entire sheet pan of whatever it is you're making. If you're gonna eat the full sheet pan of cookies you are baking I hate to break it to you, but the 60cal of cooking spray probably isn't moving the needle. And that's the most liberal application I can think of.
Have you used aerosol cooking spray before? Are you using enough to make a puddle in your frying pan? Cause if so you're using it wrong my guy.
Well at least we agree on the foundational point then I guess. While agree that spray oil alone isn’t making or breaking anyone’s diet (and yes I have used it before) that again is beside the point. The fact that companies are even allowed to do, at all, is the entire point. It’s almost farcical that a company would, with a straight face, try to claim an oil product is 0 cal. Especially given the impractical serving sizes they’ve had to use to get that number. .25 second spraying would be enough to cover the baking paper area for one cookie at best.
