Is frying with olive oil high in fat?
All foods can be divided into protein, carbohydrate or fat. All oils are fats and they all have the same amount of calories. It doesn’t matter whether it is peanut oil, flax seed oil, canola or olive oil. They all have 120 calories per tablespoon. I think your problem is that you are frying your food instead of grilling, sautéing or steaming. Try lightly sautéing or steaming meats or vegetables and then drizzling on a tiny amount of a flavorful olive oil at the table.
