A few days ago a member of my family ask me why he can eat more than a liter of olive oil per month and still keep in shape ? In reality I'm absolutely convinced that this guy is an alien. How a normal human can eat more than a liter of olive oil per month ??? To tell the truth I'm probably not so far if I count the others kind of oils I eat. But I have a good explanation for that... We are portuguese people, héhé !
More seriously, all of us know that oils are 100% fat. One only gram of it represents 9 calories. So we can say that 1 liter is pratically 10000 calories. Oh my gosh !!!! Stop it right now my friend !!!!!
No no, don't be afraid ! We absolutely need oil to survive. Our body use it for a lot of things and not only as a source of energy. 20% up to 30% of our feeding needs is made of fat ! So a person who burns 2500 calories a day got to eat at least 500 calories of fat. Therefore 1 liter of oil per month represents 330 calories a day ! As you can see there's still room for more fat :P And if you do sport you can easily eat some more !
The oils fat (olive, colza) are mainly exploited by the body just after the absorption and not stored.
Just a last thing, depending the kind of fat you eat, all are not necessarily absorbed by the organism. It's complicated to explain here but I can say an example : only 80% of butter's fat is absorbed by the body. The 20% left goes to... hum... the toilets... :p
In conclusion, the calories which are in the plate are not inevitably the same ones absorbed by the organism.

We often hear talking about saturated fats, poly-unsaturated fats, mono-unsaturated fats, bla bla bla...
So I leave here the olive oil composition for those who are interested :
Saturated fat :15,2%
Poly-unsaturated fat : 10,5%
Mono-unsaturated fat : 74,3%
