So . . . why does one tablespoon of Olive oil have almost 200 calories - but apparently olive oil cooking spray has none

[episodic]

I don't get it. . .



Although, I'm grateful to have something to spray on my airpopped popcorn that doesn't add calories. ..

 

[Locut0s]

Because it's not olive oil.

See Crono for the real answer though.

OP bellow.

 

[dougp]

Are you talking about an aresol like Pam or what kind of spray?

 

[Crono]

Fine mist =/= thick tablespoon

 

[SlitheryDee]

Aren't most of those sprays actually canola oil?

Almost any mass produced crap that claims olive oil includes just enough of it to put it on the label and ingredient list. There isn't enough to taste it unless they boost the flavor with concentrates.

It's because the serving size is only 1/3 of a second spray, and the FDA considers that little amount 0 calories. I don't know anyone who uses that little of cooking spray. I imagine the calorie content would be higher. FDA serving sizes are retarded. I mean look at cereal who eats a 1/2 a cup of cinnamon toast crunch

I think that's more the company's doing, They don't have to use FDA guidelines, the information just has to be accurate, Sweet cereal's a good example. Many times the company will reduce the serving size to make it appear to have less fat/sugar than it really has.

The serving sizes are usually smaller than what you would normally eat, not larger...

exactly.

if people followed the suggested serving size instead of dumping a thousand calories into a bowl and calling it breakfast, they might not be so overweight.

Yeah, it's the company taking advantage of a loophole in the FDA guidelines. The guidelines pretty much say that you're allowed to round the fat grams off to the nearest .5 or 1g. So all the company has to do is dial down the serving size so that the amount of fat is .24g or .49g and then it can label it's 100% fatty product (since that's pretty much the definition of oil) as "fat-free" and/or "calorie-free."

Get one of these and use your own olive oil.

No. 6000 cal/day is 6000 cal/day no matter what time you eat it. That's why your a fat ass.

Not really. Those cals in the mroning jump start a metabolism and get you burning energy. It also provides energy throughout the day.


If you skip breakfast, have a tiny lunch, and pig out at dinner without exerscising afterwards you will get super fat because you load up on calories right before you sleep. Not eating during breakfast will not give your metabolism the kick start it needs and lunch is really the meal where we should be eating the most.


So yeah...I'll eat 3K calories, where 2200 are focused on breakfast and lunch. You eat 3K calories where you put the 2200 at dinner. Let us do it for a month straight and see who is in better condition

I believe that the most recent research shows that it'll be a tie.

It adds calories. They just claim that one serving has no calories because they define a serving as an amount so small that the government lets them round down the calories to zero.

Exactly. The individual serving is low enough in calories and fat that the FDA allows them to round down to 0. It would be the same with the bottle of olive oil if the serving size were 1 mL.

And, OP, the spray will certainly add calories to your popcorn.

I just want to add that Olive Oil is fucking awesome.

This is entirely false according to actual research.

CDC

Q: If I eat late at night, will these calories automatically turn into body fat?
A: The time of day isn't what affects how your body uses calories. It's the overall number of calories you eat and the calories you burn over the course of 24 hours that affects your weight.

wait, so the OP makes "air popped popcorn", and then sprays oil on it anyway? just make the popcorn in oil in the first place, the way God meant for us to make popcorn.
