What can increase when too much oil is added to food?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Fat and energy intake
Oil is almost entirely fat, and fat provides approximately 9 kilocalories of energy per gram. Therefore, using too much oil raises the total fat and energy, or calorie, content of the meal. It does not increase fibre, vitamin C, or water. Excess energy intake over time may contribute to unhealthy weight gain, so oil should be used in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
