Butter spray calories come to 2 for one spray (0.3 g) and 792 per 100 g. That gap explains the whole product. The spray is nearly pure fat, with 89% of its calories coming from fat, so the total stays tiny only while each spray stays short. Long sprays add up.

Five sprays still come in at 12 calories
The label serving is one quick spray of 0.3 g, and that delivers 2 calories, 0.2 g of fat and no measurable sodium. Its share of the daily value rounds to 0% for calories, sodium and protein. On paper, that is about as close to nothing as a cooking fat gets.
Real pans rarely get one spray. Two sprays weigh about 1 g and bring 5 calories. Three sprays are 7 calories with 1 mg of sodium. Five sprays, a fair coat for a large skillet or a tray of roasted vegetables, still total only 12 calories and about 2 g of product.
So the count moves slowly as long as you count sprays rather than seconds. A thin mist over eggs or toast barely registers in a day of eating. The number only jumps when the nozzle is held down and the spray turns into a pour, which is where the next sections come in.
Fat is 89% of every calorie
Strip away the tiny serving and butter spray looks like any other oil. Per 100 g it carries 792 calories, 78.7 g of fat, 20.7 g of carbs and just 0.3 g of protein. The calorie split is 89% fat, 10% carbs and 0% protein. That is the profile of a cooking oil with a butter flavor, which matches the USDA row it is based on: an original cooking spray.
Saturated fat is lower than the butter name suggests, at 5 g per 100 g against a daily value of 20 g. Sugars, fiber, cholesterol and potassium all read 0. There is nothing here that adds protein, fiber or micronutrients to a meal; the spray exists to stop food sticking and to add a buttery note.
The useful way to read these numbers is backwards. Because the product is so dense, 100 g would be 40% of a 2,000 calorie daily value. Nobody sprays 100 g, but the figure shows how quickly the total would climb if the can were treated like a free food.
The long spray is the row to watch
The tiny per-spray number depends on a tiny spray. The 0.3 g serving assumes a short burst. Hold the button for several seconds over a big pan and you are dispensing many servings at once, each carrying the same fat-heavy profile of 792 calories per 100 g. The calories are real; the label just slices them thin.
Sodium is not the issue. Even at 100 g the spray has 59 mg of sodium, only 3% of the 2,300 mg daily value, and a single spray shows 0 mg. Sugar is 0 as well. The only number that matters is how much leaves the can.
If you log food closely, count sprays rather than guessing, and log five sprays as 12 calories instead of zero. That keeps the record honest without making the spray a problem. If you would rather skip the counting, BodyPal can log the food from a photo of your plate.
Use it as a coating, not an ingredient
Butter spray earns its place where you need a thin film of fat and little else: eggs in a nonstick pan, a sheet of vegetables before roasting, popcorn, a waffle iron, a muffin tin. In those jobs a few sprays do the work that a spoonful of fat would otherwise do, and the total stays in single or low double digits.
It is a weaker swap where fat is part of the flavor and texture, such as baking or sauces. There you need weight, not mist, and the spray is still roughly 89% fat calories once you use enough of it. Measuring a real fat in those cases gives a clearer count than emptying a can.
Because the spray adds no protein or fiber, it does nothing to make a meal more filling. Pair it with foods that do: eggs, lean meat, beans or vegetables. The spray handles the pan; the rest of the plate handles hunger.
How does butter spray compare?
Here is how butter spray stacks up against other fats and fat-rich pantry foods, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: Gram for gram, butter spray at 792 calories per 100 g is denser than almond flour at 607, butter cake at 353 or avocado spread at 160, but its 2-calorie serving is far smaller than avocado spread's 80 or butter cake's 215. For greasing a pan pick the spray; for a spread that adds fiber and some protein pick avocado spread, and log it as a real serving.
