Olive oil for fewer calories; protein is a tie.
Both columns are USDA FoodData Central numbers — the same sourced data Joules logs from, rather than the crowd-sourced entries that make many trackers disagree with each other.

Both foods come from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy): FDC ID 171413 for Olive oil and 171412 for Coconut oil, taken per 100 g so the comparison is like-for-like.
