I mainly only use butter to fry some eggs but I use way too much olive oil for everything else like chicken, vegetables, etc.
Does any decent lower cal alternative exist?

There is low calorie/no calorie sprayOriginally Posted by ISmokeTooMuch
Or, pour a small amount of oil in the pan and use a paper towel to just create a thin film instead of letting the oil poolThe power of carbs compels me!

All oils and fats have roughly the same calorie content. If you want lower calories, the easiest option is to use less.Originally Posted by ISmokeTooMuch

I’ve seen commercials for some that cook perfect eggs every time with no oil. Plus they don’t scratch even when you use an axe on them.Originally Posted by Garage Rat

WD-40 in an aerosol spray. Although it's a non-polar molecule, it will still be biologically unavailable. Use it in light moderation. Personally I would stick with olive oil or butter before cooking with WD-40, but hey...you asked the question.Originally Posted by desslok

Agree with others--using less is really the best way to do it. Oil is the only thing that I measure out, whether I'm tracking or not. If you make sure to get the pan warm and spread the oil around, it's crazy how little you really need.
