I've bought a bottle of Frank's Red Hot in order to come up with a mock version of buffalo chicken pizza. One problem - the serving size listed on the bottle is 1 teaspoon for 0 calories, but I'm thinking I'm going to use more like 1-2 ounces.

Any idea what the real calorie count it? The ingredients are cayenne pepper, distilled vinegar, water, salt, natural flavor, and garlic powder. I'm thinking the only ingredient that would have calories is the the vinegar, which I usually count at 15 per 1 tablespoon.

Thoughts?

That sounds right. I would only count calories for the vinegar.

What about the butter spray that is 0 calories per so many sprays.....what would that be per tablespoon?

About 60 calories and 6 g of fat in a tbsp of butter spray, variable slightly depending on brand.

A tablespoon of vinegar only has 3 calories.

A whole cup only has 50.

Seagirl - Thanks for pointing that out. I usually eat/track balsmaic vinegar, which is 10-15 calories per tablespoon. Makes sense that regular distilled vinegar has fewer calories. I was just going off what I usually did.

I believe a serving can have up to 4 calories and still list as 0 calories on the packaging. Don't quote me on that, that's just what I've read. So you could just estimate 4 calories per tsp. You say you'll use 1-2 ounces, but you won't be eating the whole thing in one serving.
