Hi and welcome.
The thing I find with olive oil is that, unlike most other oils, you can use as much as you fancy without imparing the taste or texture of a meal. Alot of pasta dishes reall suit drizzling some olive oil on after its been cooked.
Anyhoo, I usually just use the same amount as I would use if I were using other oils (usually a teaspoon or two). Hope this helps
olive oil is as fattening as a lump of lard - though not so ghastly. However, why do you need a lot of olive oil? Are you deep frying or something? As Red Flag says, a teaspoonful is fine.

While I still use some olive oil at times. I much prefer the lighter flavor of grape seed oil. The vitamins and antioxidants are just a bonus.
