If you look at Pam the label says 0 Fat and 0 Calories per serving. 1 serving is 1/3 of a second spray or .25g. That's great, but the main ingredient in there is Canola oil which has 14g of Fat and 126 Calories per tablespoon. Since the Pam serving size is 1/56 of a tablespoon the amount is negligable and can be rounded down to zero. I think we can all agree that Canola oil is not fat free or calorie free, don't tell anyone though .

PAM butter spray ingredients:
canola oil, grain alcohol, lecithin from soybeans

This is just a little info on using Canola oil as cold preparations for Omega 3's

<snipped from Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients ,June, 1998>
Despite canola oil's healthy reputation, popular acceptance, and
excellent nutritional composition, it may be toxic when used in cooking.
This is because omega-3s, one of canola's nutritional strengths, become
damaged if the oil is heated. Whether through cooking or processing,
heating distorts the omega-3 molecules, converting them into the trans
form that can elevate total cholesterol, and lower the good HDL
cholesterol.

Refined canola oil, typically found in conventional food stores, is
usually exposed to high temperatures, deodorizing and bleaching. Its
health-giving constituents are processed away, and its omega-3s
converted into the undesirable trans form.

Even "lightly refined" and "expeller pressed oils can be exposed to
deodorizing, which may raise the oil temperature to a sizzling
450°–470° F. The best way to enjoy the health benefits of
canola oil is to buy the unrefined variety, and use it exclusively in
cold preparations, such as salad dressings.
Other, more heat-resistant oils, such as extra Virgin olive oil,
unrefined sesame oil or high-oleic sunflower oil are better for
cooking.
