One tablespoon of olive oil contains about 119 calories and 14 grams of fat, making it a high calorie food product. The good news is that the fat is healthy, mostly monounsaturated, around 6.7 grams and polyunsaturated, 4.6 grams. A small amount of calories come from saturated fat.
Although the fat is the healthy kind, you should still portion control your olive oil. Use it moderately in cooking and dressing food. And if you are using it in a single serving, note that one serving of fat is about one teaspoon of olive oil.
It is important to note that many of the healthy components of olive oil, such as phytonutrients, are present in high amounts only in virgin and extra-virgin olive oil
