Butter/vegetable sprays, Who knew?

So I was watching The Biggest Loser the other night and Jillian says a 1 sec spray of pam is 7 calories.
Now I didn't assume that it was calorie free as they say on the label considering they are made of fat but I couldn't believe it.
So I went searching on the net and the information I found was astonishing.
A cooking spray like pam has 1638 cal for the entire can.
I was using a can a week. I use in to cook everything, and I wasn't being too careful.
Then there's the I can't believe it's not butter spray. According to one source there is 20 cal per teaspoon AND 2 grams of fat. For one teaspoon!
The whole bottle has 900 cal and 90 grams of fat.
Now I can't verify that they were accurate but the sources seemed reliable.

I feel like I have been lied to. Like I said I didn't expect no calories but THAT many. Unbelievable.
I won't quit using them but I will be much more careful and mindful of how much I am using them.
Man it pays to look for hidden calories in your diet.

Was anyone else as shocked as me?
