Answer 1

Where did you get those numbers for fat from? Is it the same fats, in the same composition?

There are different types of “fat”. And different foods contain different amounts of the different fats. The fat you found for your 3500 number is probably a different mix (or a different fat altogether) than what olive oil contains.
