And, just as a scientific note, if the typical serving is .25 grams, it
cannot contain .5 grams of fat. My guess is that the .25g serving is 100%
fat and thus .25g of fat. So, a one second spray =3/4 g fat, and a three
second spray is just over 2 g fat.
This is still better than a spoonful of oil, but the point is well-taken
that sprays are still oil. They are just supposed to be a good way to get
a pretty light coating of oil.
