Olive Oil Calorie Count Question.

[Times Roman]

at some point, you have to get out of the laboratory and into the kitchen.

for example, most, if not all the macro charts I've seen, when you eat a banana, the unit of measure is one banana. but we all know bananas come in all different sizes. so what do you do? so you sit there and analyze the average size banana (how would you do that?) and then extrapolate that onto the size banana you are going to eat?

we live in a world of averages, so what I do is assume that 1/2 will be absorbed and 1/2 will stay in the pan. You have to admit, not all of it will be absorbed, and not all of it will stay in the pan. so what do you do? you make an assumption.

That's exactly what I do buddy.
Was just trying to be more exact because that shit is very calorie dense. If you guesstimate on that 4 times a day you could be eating 400+ more cals than you think a day.
I might just use the spray from the cans that have 0 calories and add olive oil after cooking to be more exact.
Not that I'm getting fat, I'm just obsessive. I eat more than 1000 calories above my supposed maintenance calories and am gaining minimal to no weight.
Roughly 4000+ a day. 350-400 tein 300-350 carbs and 70-100 grams of fat. I'm confused why my weight is stagnant. Going to cut that down real soon after tren is done. Doesn't move past 205lbs.

for me, keeping my calories derived from fat below 20% of total calories of what I eat daily is very difficult. I don't think I would intentionally add oil at any time. in fact, my daily fat intake average over the last six weeks is 29% of total caloric intake. I do great in this area until the evening meals. but once I begin to consume red meat, or a variety of other things, my caloric intake from fat/oil shoots through the roof.

Right now, post gym and pre evening meal, I've consumed 1,500 calories, of which only 10% from oil/fat. I BBQ almost all my meat for the evening meal. Have you considered (maybe) a George Foreman grill and use Pam instead of table spoons of olive oil?

Totally forgot about the good old foreman grill! Got to find where I put that puppy.
You can track them pretty easily (roughly) with myfitnesspal if you have a smart phone and they have an app and website for the computer as well. they added so many food to their list, brand names and all.
95% of what I eat is on there.
They break it down into percents as well and have other somewhat useful built in calculators. Very useful if on the go and dont like writing.
