It's zero calories per serving, of which there are over 1500 in that can. It's a rounding error. If each serving has say 0.2 calories, the whole can might contain 300.

Also, "1/4 second spray"

Are you using a fucking aerosol can of avocado oil? 🀨

    Sprays have their use cases for griddles and molds that need to be lubed.

    Not my daily driver for fats but I don’t see the problem.

    Why not pump-based spray? I thought we were done with aerosols...

    It's not aerosol. It's just pressurized.

    I mean, technically it's an aerosol since it's a spray, but it doesn't use the harmful chemicals that ate the ozone layer.

    Then how is OP going to get enough ozone in his diet?

    I suggest getting a reusable 2-in-1 spray/pour bottle. Saves a little money if you're buying two things of oil. If you're as frugal as me then you buy the oil from a discount store too.

    The issue I have with plastic spray nozzles and units with oil is that they get gunky even if you clean them after every use. And most heads are not supposed run through the dishwasher. Which is highly impractical for us. For a while I bought a new one every year just to replace the top part.

    what i don't get is who uses that little oil that they have to spray it? i just pour oil all over it.

    You may not get it, that's fine, but it is an extremely common cooking technique. What you're saying is like saying "Why do people steam things? I don't steam things, that's just stupid" (I know you didn't say it was stupid)

    Pouring oil will be right in some cases, but in other cases WAY more oil and WAY less distributed than desired.

    One example would be my 1960s egg poacher, about all I use spray for. I could use butter, and have!, but the spray ensures it hits the entire surface and the egg no stick. Yes, I could wipe it with a buttered paper towel, but that's messy.

    Having said that, I refuse to pay the ridiculous price for spray oil. Only reason I use it is that my wife stocks it for whatever reason.

    It's pretty good stuff. Plant based, easy to apply, higher smoke point than olive oil.

    Avocado oil isn't the problem, but aerosol? I've never even seen that
