butter has a pretty low smoke point. Good olive oil, but NOT Extra Virgin Olive oil. EVOO has some delicate flavors that go bad at high temps. Just a good basic olive oil, or peanut oil. Peanut oil has a high smoke point, and doesn't oxidize as easily as other oils. Corn oil has a low smoke point as well. Canola (which is really rapeseed oil, but that name has negative connotations, and can be confused with grapeseed oil) should be OK.
for what its worth ALL fats have 9 calories per gram. All carbs and proteins 4 calories per gram. Fatty meats are more than 4 calories a gram because of the fat marbled in.
