I know this isn't a beauty topic but thought some might find this interesting. I have been using "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray" on the bottle (front and Back) it states that is is calorie free, 0 calories! Not true.......read on:

SkinnyWeek.com Articles Here is some info on I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray - many people think it's completely "FREE" but used in excess does have calories & fat. One bottle has 900 calories & 90 grams of fat. If you are using it in moderation it shouldn't be a concern but just wanted you to be well-informed.

ICBINB! is labeled in accordance with the NLEA Labeling Law Act of 1994.
ICBINB! Spray contains less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving, placing it
within the definition of "fat free" as set forth by the FDA. Our product
are labeled to reflect those guidelines.

Other guidelines are:

Saturated Fat-less than 0.5 gram per serving and level of trans fatty
acids does not exceed 1% of total fat.

Low Fat-3grams or less per serving, OR if serving size is smaller than 3
grams per 50 grams of food.

Low Saturated Fat-1gram or less per serving AND not more than 15% of
calories from saturated fat.

Reduced or Less Fat AND Reduced or Less Saturated Fat-At least 25% less
perserving than reference food (food which it is being compared to.)

Here is the calorie and fat information of ICBINB! Spray:

12.5 sprays(2.5g) 10 calories 1g fat
25 sprays(5.0g) 20 calories 2g fat
37.5 sprays(7.5g) 30 calories 3g fat

24 sprays=1 teaspoon 17 calories 1.9g fat
72 sprays=1 tablespoon 52 calories 5.8g fat

ENTIRE BOTTLE 900 Calories = 90g Fat

One gram of fat is made of 15% Saturated Fat, 54% of Monounsaturated Fat
and 31% Polyunsaturated Fat

"Based on that, 1 TBS. is 52 calories and 5.8 grams of fat. 1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons so that's 208 calories and 23.2 grams of fat! Definitely not free, it's in the "light margarine" range.
