Going over on fat!
Two avocados cause me to go over on my daily amount of fat. Since it's 'healthy fat', is it okay to eat more throughout the day? I had guacamole for lunch and had 2 avocados and I don't know if I can avoid any type of fat for dinner or a snack. I'll try, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
