Q: If macadamia nuts are so fattening, won't the oil be too?
A: Actually no. In fact, all fats and oils have the same number of calories per tablespoon - around 120. The reason people think macadamia nuts are fattening is because they have a relatively high fat content. However, the fats are monounsaturated fats, which are a very healthful fat to have in your diet. And, it is too long a discussion for here, but the body actually burns body fat more efficiently if there is fat in the diet.
