A tablespoon of butter contains 11.52 grams of fat, which is somewhat less than the usual 14 grams of fat for a tablespoon of oil.

Here's a comparison:

Butter, 1 T

Total saturated 7.29

Total monounsaturated 2.98

Total polyunsaturated 0.43

Olive Oil, 1 T

Total saturated 1.86g

Total monounsaturated 9.85g

Total polyunsaturated 1.42g

There's about 33 mg of cholesterol in a tablespoon of butter.

Here's the USDA's nutrient values site on 1 Tablespoon of butter:

Go to the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

and type in butter, click Submit, then choose Butter, Salted, click Submit, then choose 1 Tablespoon, click Submit a third time, and you'll get to the nutrient values for 1 tablespoon of butter.
