Hi Mimi

Whenever I'm making a smoothie, I add 2 tblspns of flax oil. It's tasteless and healthy. I also eat lost of nuts and seeds.

I would not include the cooking sprays within the 2 teaspoons of healthy oils.
The cooking spray will have to be one with the healthy oils.
I'm not sure how can you measure cooking spray...?
I think that few sprays are zero calories, but more than that will definetely have calories... and calories do count.
I would have 2 teaspoons of healthy oils every day, and if you use more than a few sprays per day, find the calories you use and calculate the additional points...

I hope it make some sense.....
