    lmao, that’s so shameless. Avocado oil is one of the most calorie-dense food in existence.

      Say “one one-thousand two one-thousand” at normal pace

      Have you ever sprayed cooking oil for that long? I haven’t, and either way that’s only 18 calories

      I wouldn’t consider this terribly misleading, 0.25 second spray for 1 serving of food is very reasonable. Should it really say 2 calories? Yeah, I think it should. Does it matter that much, though?

        Of course it matters. It’s oil, of course it has calories, and of course it contains fat. To claim otherwise is simply lying.

        And I regularly spray cooking oil for at least two seconds when prepping a sheet tray for baked goods or to roast vegetables, prepping bowls for dough, or a whole host of other common cooking tasks. Don’t try and pretend a 1/4 second spritz is the norm, or a useful serving size for something like oil.

          You’re addressing half of my point. How many servings of veggies are you making when spraying for 2 seconds?

            Multiple. I still want to know how many actual calories I’m adding to those veggies though, because it’s not zero.

              I have the answer! It’s, as near makes no difference, zero.

              Are you this concerned over the calorie content of spices like oregano, which aren’t required to report at all, as well?
