I want to take a couple of Tbs a day of olive oil for good health. Do you think it would cause weight gain?

Absolutely not if your overall calories do not exceed how much your body is burning. Say you burn 2000 cals doing what you do throughout the day. If you eat 500-800 cals over that you'll gain weight.





Muscle or fat? Depending on if you weight lift regularly and eat a good diet rich in proteins, veggies and fruits.





Olive oil is AWESOME. I can't even begin to tell you how healthy it is for your body. Best if drizzled on foods around dinner or lunch time or any time you feel like getting some good fats in.





I cook with pure olive oil and I use the extra virgin or light tasting olivel oil drizzled on foods or put it a cup with whey protein powder for something quick.





So in the end olive oil does not cause fat gain unless you EAT more calories then you burn! This is no matter if you eat clean or junk it's all the same.I want to take a couple of Tbs a day of olive oil for good health. Do you think it would cause weight gain?
Depends on your diet, of course. In reality, 2tsp is better for you, anyhow. If you have a balanced diet, it can be a good thing.I want to take a couple of Tbs a day of olive oil for good health. Do you think it would cause weight gain?
no it won't.. but you should just put it along with one of your meals for dinner instead
