The answer is no. Olive actually has a slightly higher calorie count per teaspoon than butter.
However, olive oil is a much healthier alternative to butter or margarine because it has no cholesterol and is lower in other types of fats that cause Heart disease.
But if your concern is the fat on your stomach, olive oil is not a better alternative.
Calorie wise olive oil is good option but one can use other substitutes too
The calorie content of a vegetable stir-fry with olive oil can vary based on the types and amounts of vegetables used, as well as the quantity of olive oil. On average, a serving of vegetable stir-fry made with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a mix of vegetables may contain around 200-300 calories. If you use more oil or include high-calorie vegetables or additional ingredients like tofu or nuts, the calorie count can increase. It's best to calculate based on specific ingredients for a more accurate estimate.
no but fry light is just as good and is only one calorie in the whole bottle :-)
Olive oil has many more calories than say safflower oil. They're all different. Try this trick--- read the bottle !
I do it every early morning on an empty stomach....
Simply multiply calories for the serving size (likely 1 tablespoon) listed on the olive oil bottle by 4. Also, you can look here for calorie information: http://www.nutritiondata.com/
Olive oil! Are u kidding me!?
Cooked bell peppers themselves are low in calories, containing about 20 calories per cup. When sautéed in olive oil, the calorie count increases based on the amount of oil used. For example, one tablespoon of olive oil adds approximately 120 calories, so if you use that amount to cook the peppers, the total would be around 140 calories for a cup of bell peppers cooked in olive oil.
WATER!
Olive oil is the healthier of the two. Olive oil is one of the healthiest oils, period.
The main difference between olive oil and virgin olive oil is the way they are processed. Virgin olive oil is made from the first pressing of the olives, while regular olive oil is a blend of virgin and refined olive oils. Virgin olive oil is considered to have a higher quality and better flavor compared to regular olive oil.
Light olive oil IS olive oil. Different varieties and types of olive oil are used for different things, so one cannot say that a certain olive oil is better than another.
