A member asked:
Excess of extra virgin olive oil daily can makes me fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Like all fats, olive oil is calorie dense and contains 120 calories in one tablespoon. Two tablespoons (one ounce) contains 240 calories. So using excess virgin olive oil will cause you to gain weight.
