How do you log oil?

[FitLandis]

Hi!  I'm new!

Just curious, if I use olive oil to saute garlic or peppers or someting to add in a recipe,  do I add the whole amount of oil I put in the pan to the log?  Or does some get cooked off?  How do you do it?

Oil doesnt cook off, it gets absorbed

Count all of it

130cals per table spoon/ 15ml

I use an Olive Oil spray pump, that way you will use much less than your usual amount. 

They look like this and they are wonderful for cooking. 

Then I log about 1/4 teaspoon or so.

I had this same question yesterday and tooled around to lots of med sites and calorie counting sites and the consensus is count it all as mentioned above.  Which is a big ouch.  One woman says she uses water instead of oil and last night when re-heating some meat in a skillet I did just this.  Worked well.  Would not do for everything but for some things it is perfect.
