How Much Does Cooking With Olive Oil Raise the Calories?

A tablespoon (about 13.5 grams) of olive oil carries about 122 calories. As the amount of olive oil added to a dish rises, the total calories rise directly with it; this has less to do with the vegetable's own calories than with the amount poured into the pan or onto the plate.
