Olive oil nutrition: calories, protein and portion sizes

In this Fineli Release 20.0 reference, 100 g provides about 884 kcal and 0 g protein. Reference food and preparation: olive oil. Match the edible weight and preparation below, or use the current label for your own product.

Quick answer

An example 10 g edible portion of olive oil (olive oil) supplies about 88 kcal, 0 g protein and 0 g fiber. This is a scaled food-composition estimate, not a recommended serving size.

Olive oil: nutrition per 100 g and example portion

Reference preparation: olive oil. The exact source name is “Olive oil” (Fineli food 536). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.

Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

How to weigh olive oil

Weigh oil in grams or use a volume-based label that matches your measure. A 10 g example is not the same as a universal tablespoon weight. A bottle's before-and-after weight can estimate the amount poured for a shared recipe.

Calculate your own olive oil portion

For the 10 g example, multiply the source amounts by 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1. The unrounded energy calculation is 884.3 × 0.1 = 88.43 kcal, displayed as approximately 88 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.

For another amount, replace 10 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as olive oil; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.

How preparation changes the estimate

Oil contains fat but no protein or fiber in this reference. Extra-virgin and refined oils differ in flavor and processing, while this extract cannot quantify polyphenols. Oil left in a pan creates uncertainty; document an assumption rather than claiming an exact absorbed amount.

Meal ideas using olive oil

Use these combinations as menu ideas and adjust the amounts to your appetite and preferences. Each added ingredient belongs in the complete meal estimate.

  • Measure olive oil into a chickpea and tomato salad dressing.
  • Include the oil used for roasted vegetables in the batch recipe, then divide by servings.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories are in 10 g of olive oil?

This olive oil reference supplies about 88 kcal per 10 g edible portion. Match the preparation state and check a package label when available.

Does the preparation of olive oil matter?

Oil contains fat but no protein or fiber in this reference. Extra-virgin and refined oils differ in flavor and processing, while this extract cannot quantify polyphenols. Oil left in a pan creates uncertainty; document an assumption rather than claiming an exact absorbed amount.

How do I calculate a different portion?

Multiply each per-100 g nutrient amount by your edible serving weight divided by 100. Match raw, dry, cooked or drained weight to the reference and include sauces or cooking additions separately.
