Is olive oil good for meal planning?

Olive oil is one of the easiest foods to underestimate. A 'splash' in a pan is often closer to 2 tablespoons (240 kcal) than 1.

Spraying or measuring oil with a teaspoon gives you control without changing how the food tastes.

How to use olive oil in a meal plan

  • Measured 1 tsp to roast a tray of vegetables
  • Spray bottle for stir-fries and pans
  • Drizzled lightly on salad with vinegar
  • Brushed onto bread for dipping (measured)
