How much in the way of calories and fat does pan frying add

I want to fry some lean pork cutlets in a pan with olive oil. I won't be deep frying and if I use three tablespoons of oil, I'd be surprised. Anyone know if this adds significant calories, other than the oil itself?
Curious.

    I always measure my EVOO I put in the pan. I also bought a pump spray for $15 at Williams Sonoma. I love it as I can glaze the bottom of the pan with very little oil.

    That being said, you NEED oil so I would add 1 tbls of olive oil to my food log if I was cooking it that way. ( I like mine with Thyme, EVOO, salt and pepper, :love: _

    enjoy your dinner!:drinker:

    interesting question.
    I've wondered what the difference could possibly be if I scramble or hard boil my eggs, as long as there's no fat added. When I make an omelette I don't add any fat.
