A tablespoon is about 120 calories, and that's before you notice
What makes olive oil so powerful?
Olive oil is pure fat, so every spoonful is about 120 calories regardless of grade; extra virgin is not lower in calories. What sets it apart is the fat type, which is mostly monounsaturated, and polyphenols in extra virgin. Because it is so dense, a glug from the bottle can easily be two tablespoons. Measuring is the single biggest improvement for tracking accuracy.
Measure with a spoon or use a spray. Use extra virgin raw or for low-heat cooking.
