When you cook with oil, do you count it?

I rarely use oils to cook but I did today. I'm not sure if it's something I actually ate or not considering I oiled a pan to make stir fry.

Do you count oil used to cook?

    I do count oil -- and I prefer olive oil to other vegetable oils.

    I often do not count spray (like Pam), but I know others do.

    i generally count about half- 3/4 of it. Like, if i use 1 T to cook with and i can visibly see that theres still a good amount in the pan, then i will count 1/2 T in my calories

    Yes you should count it, because it definitely adds up! I stick to non stick sprays though, 0 cals :)

    I use olive oil and count all 2 tbsp I use to make the meal to my calories even though I cook for 4..... rather over estimate
