First of all, it is not that eating olive oil is high in calories, which will make people fat. In fact, as far as the calories contained in vegetable oil are concerned, the difference between them is very small and almost negligible. Generally, the calories contained in vegetable oil are between 900 and 895 kcal per100g, so it is not that one kind of oil is more likely to make people fat than another, but that we consume more calories every day and accumulate them in the body for a long time, which will make people fat. Even if you eat a little oil a day, if you eat too many other nutrients, such as carbohydrates, glycogen in your body will be converted into fat, which will also make you fat. "China Residents' Balanced Diet Pagoda" urges that the daily fat intake should not exceed 25g, and the daily fat intake should be about 80g (including fatty substances contained in edible oil and various foods). The energy provided by the fat in various foods (including edible oil) we eat every day is controlled at 20%-30% of the total energy in the whole day, which is very useful for maintaining individual health and controlling weight.

In addition, let's talk about olive oil. People in the Mediterranean take olive oil as the main edible oil, and their daily intake of fat is as high as 40%, but they rarely have obesity complications. The reason is that the oleic acid content in olive oil is very high (the highest in oil), as high as 83%. The effect of oleic acid on our body is to reduce blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and at the same time increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the peroxide reaction to individuals is much smaller than that of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which is very helpful for us to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
