Short so they can claim 0 calories per serving. If you spray for a second there are going to be > 0 calories.

It's pure oil, which has roughly 850-900kcal per 100g. So based on their estimate of 1 sec = 1g, that's 9kcal per second.

Still not a lot if you spray for that amount of time, but it'll quickly add up since I feel like 3-5 seconds (depending on what area what you're spraying) is more realistic.

If you spray for less than one second there's still gonna be calories. The zero is due to how they're allowed to round calories.

You can round down for values under 5. Thanks to that you can only say this can has between 0 and 3000 calories

I used to (and still do) use olive oil cooking spray on my fresh air popped popcorn. I used to think I wasn’t adding any calories so I would soak the popcorn. Lol Yeah there’s actually over 1,000 calories of oil in that can. I still use it just with much more moderation.

Just spray for 0.25 seconds multiple times, unlimited 0 calorie servings.
