There's something really sad about this post, at least to me.
How about placing it on appropriate food and eating when you usually eat. Olive oil is a yummy food product, an excellent ingredient in many dishes and not a supplement that is to consumed in precise doses at prescribed hours in order to get phantom benefits promised in glossy magazines and over-the-top websites.
Folks, please don't lose sight of common sense and start drinking 27.235 ml of olive oil at 8:42 am, which is precisely 19 minutes and 12 seconds after completing the last repetition of weight training.

^ This.
It is a food "enhancer", if you will. It's great for a multitude of reasons; it adds healthy fats to foods that are usually low in that department (i.e. chicken breast), helps to keep your food from sticking to the pan while cooking, boosts flavor of said food (the human tongue finds fats delicious in most cases), as well as other properties.
As WonderPug has mentioned, it's not a supplement or medication that is taken at specific times, nor in specific dosages. It is a natural cooking ingredient that is used as just that. If you're looking for something in the supplement category to help you with your daily EFA intake, I suggest picking up some fish oil pills as they are a great source of omega-3's.
That's like asking what time of the day it's better to go to the grocery store. As long as you get the food you'd planned to buy that day, you're good to go.

I want to cry.
No. No. No. We are talking about olive oil.
Try it on a salad, as the base for a yummy pesto sauce or in myriad other combinations of whole foods.

Please don't start to drink olive oil, even if it's a yummy extra virgin variety.
My guess, judging from your posts on this thread, is that you'd be well served to read some of the nutritional stickies on this website. It might give you a better foundation from which to interpret the various forms of advice that well-meaning but unenlightened folks may pass along.
I add it to protein shakes for extra calories

My friend, Olive oil is good for healthy cooking, your hearth, your skin and losing weight. If you want to use it for losing weight drink 1 or 2 tablespoon in the morning 30 minutes before regular breakfast. Doctors recommend to add it on your green salad or fix it with some herbs to deep your healthy bread in to add some minerals and stuff, but hey, you chose what goes better for you. Others say 3 tbsp, but I rather stay moderate. Find the most pure-organic olive oil you can find and good health to ya.
One more thing, to make oil, they have to cook it first. Therefore, the heat does nothing to the oil.
and we have a necromancer hahaha
Don't cook with olive oil - the low smoke point means you risk producing harmful byproducts.
Put it on salads or bread. It's not a miracle food but very handy for those that can't get enough calories in.
