About This Food

EVOO, or extra virgin olive oil, is widely consumed in Mediterranean diets. The calories in EVOO is 119.3. It provides healthy monounsaturated fats and is a good source of antioxidants like vitamin E. EVOO also contains oleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties. It's generally suitable for most people, but those watching their fat intake should be mindful of portion sizes. A tablespoon per day is often recommended for dressings or cooking. While it provides healthy fats, overconsumption contributes to weight gain, so moderation is key. Try using a spray bottle to control the amount you use.
