Avocado on toast

Avocado doesn't fill me for the calorie punch it gives. Feta typically has pretty high calorie..not as high as melting cheeses but still. So yes it could be really high in calories depending on how much you used. Healthy yes but also calories and fat are high with these items.0

Sure, but no one is going to put 225 g of butter on toast, right?
That's two sticks, I can't imagine anyone doing that except maybe Paula Deen.10 -

Nope... but is a nice exchange for someone who might like a slightly buttery taste on toast.... get some fiber too. Monounsaturated Fats as well..kshama2001 wrote: »psychod787 wrote: »Avacodos are 1.6 cals a gram vs butter at 9 cals.

Oh the poor, tiny, Haas avocado. Where I live our avocados can be 3 to 4 times the size of them.
Hass are perfect for single serving. I don't need a 3 lb avocado.
Half a Hass is perfect for a single serving, IME.
Also, my understanding is that the giant Florida ones aren't as tasty.3 -
What is important is that you weigh what is actually going on the toast. The simplest way to do that is to weigh the toast without the avocado, then with. Then add the Feta and weigh again. But, geez find something worthwhile to spend the massive calories on.2

1/2 a hass on each slice of toast is perfect1 -
Yeah avocados and cheese can be high calorie, if it makes you feel satisfied you should enjoy it0

Your bread could be packing on a bunch of calories, too. Maybe find a lower calorie bread that you like so you don't have to skimp on the toppings.2

Florida avocado is delicious, imo. Not inferior in any way. And you can cut a slice, and double saran- wrap the rest to keep it from browning. It lasts for a few days in the fridge when ripe.0 -
it's not bad, no. It may or may not be too high in calories for your chosen calorie allowance, though. If breakfast is usually a larger meal for you and you are fine cutting the extra calories elsewhere, or if your calorie allowance isn't stressed by it, then you don't need to change anything about it. If you want your breakfast to have fewer calories, you can simply use less avocado/cheese.0

@jwoolman5 thanks for that tip! I don’t want to eat a whole one but felt bad as I too couldn’t get them to keep in the fridge so good to know they freeze well.

I will eat a whole avocado for breakfast with a spoon right out of the skin. I don't use salt or pepper, just the avocado, but I like that and eat most fresh foods that way.1

Just change your portion! I would do 1 slice of toast (around 100 calories, but more if You want better quality bread), 85g of avocado (around 140 calories) and 14 grams (.5 oz) of feta (40 calories) plus a few cherry tomatoes (10 calories). About 300 calories, with all the stuff you like, just a smaller breakfast portion.
Of course, if you like to do a bigger breakfast and smaller lunches/dinners, you can keep doing your 600 cal breakfast! Nothing wrong with that.0
