Too much avocado??
Replies

I love avocados, too. AND they are wonderful for your skin and hair! I just use avocados as my main fat. I spread it on toast instead of butter, I use guacamole in tuna salad instead of mayo, and i use avocado oil on salads with lemon juice for dressing.
As long as you measure it and count it, seems like it should be fine.0 -
I'm really curious if this varies wildly from place to place...because in my area, Aldi and another supermarket sell avocadoes for less than a buck...sometimes you can get 2 or even 3 for a buck.
And I don't live anywhere near avocado-growing operations...I'm in southern Missouri here...
Are they stupid pricey elsewhere? I do know sometimes other supermarkets will charge a couple dollars apiece or for special varieties...
Here in western MO, you'd have to go to Aldi's or Sav-A-Lot to get it for a buck on a regular basis. They are never ripe though, so all the waiting makes me anxious.
Sometimes HyVee has good ripe ones for a buck.
Yes, I have two I'm waiting on right now and I catch myself checking them like 3 times a day. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!0 -
I just started eating avocados, because they are high in fiber, i.e. 13 grams. While they are high in calories, they help you to digest everything else you are eating due to the fiber. As with everything, moderation in all things!!!0

Just half? What do you do with the other half?
Save it for the next day or split it with my wife. If you keep the seed in the other half, it will keep fine for the next day in a zip-lock.
Dietary staple here in New Mexico...obviously guacamole, but I mostly just like to half it, sprinkle on some salt and scoop out the meat.
As far as price goes I get mine at Costco...I think they come out to around $.65 per on average.0 -
your fitness tracker looks like little turdsA) If it fits your goal then it fits your goal. End of story.
2) All avacado is too much avacado
In Conclusion: accusing people of being turds in your opening statement is sure to bring in people who act like turds.
whoah sensitive! Relax
Do I seem as if I'm not relaxed? As opposed to one who assumes people are going to be turds from the outset?

It's brownies, but I can see what you mean (Assuming your turds are all perfectly uniform, bundt cake shaped, and dotted with chocolate chips). But I don't eat brownies because they're pretty, so /shrug0 -

I count the minutes until I can eat the other half haha0 -

Avocados = more turds
Does this mean avocado tastes like crap? Because I'm inclined to agree.

It's clearly my lack of a sense of humor at play.
Clearly. Avocados = less butthurt
And in this scenario butthurt is of course not demanding that people not 'fight' in the very first post, before any hint of arguing breaks out, but in pointing out that demanding such things is only going to bring about such things. Though in most conventional definitions it would the OP who was displaying butthurt from the get go by assuming/warding against behavior that had yet to develop.
Today I have learned new ways to use both playful and butthurt. MFP, so educational.
Avocado is still gross.
poor avocados
I might have to mash them up, add some tomatoes and onions, and salt them to make them feel all better now0 -

Actually, asking people to not argue around here makes sense to me. The butthurt is strong around here. More people should IIFYM to avoid butthurt. :bigsmile:
I think asking people not to argue from the get go is silly, especially when you could just not say what you clearly believe to be an inflammatory phrase/statement and avoid it.
OP says: I love avocado, am I eating too much
Someone says: If it fits you eats.
End thread.
Op says: I love avocado, it's got good fats, don't be a turd and argue about good vs bad fats!, am I eating too much.

I said I know too much of a good thing can be a bad thing and asked for general insight on the subject of avocados. I didn't want this to turn into one person berates and trashes another on the basis of the "good vs bad fats argument" like I've seen on several other feeds. I said don't be a turd in the OP in a light hearted and humorous way which you twisted because you apparently need attention. After this I'm going back to ignoring you because you are simply an irritation.
A big thanks to all the non turds who actually took this post for what it was supposed to be! You guys rock!0 -
too much avocado CAN throw you off.. an actual serving of avocado is 1/8th of the whole.. that's about the size of your THUMB.
it's a great spreadable fat though...
A serving is how much you eat of it. I eat the whole thing. :smokin:
This ^ ^ literally laughed out loud. Me only eating half of the avocado is torture but I try not to over indulge
To me it's like being wasteful. I would never eat half a piece of fruit, unless I'm ill.0 -

I save the other half in a ziplock in the fridge. I wouldn't just toss it away, that is wasteful lol0 -

Nom nom nom avocado, if you really want to try something new try boiling an egg, chopping it all up along with sriracha sauce and stuffing that in the pit area of your half avocado.

Pop one into a brown paper bag, put it in the cabinet overnight or a little longer for really under-ripe ones. Works like a charm! I buy the super under-ripe ones when I see them on sale (a buck a piece this last weekend!), keep them in the fridge until I need to ripen one in the bag0 -

In for avocados!!
I usually eat 1-2/week. Spread on toast with S&P or sliced in a salad or sandwich. If it fits in your day I wouldn't worry about it!
Edited to add: In CO they run usually about $1 ea. Also, great tip on the paper bag!0 -
Wish we could get Avocado's for $1... here in West Australia we pay $2-$3 each for a good sized Haas...0

If you leave the pit in the other half, it will keep for the next day...not going to last much beyond that, but I generally only have 1/2 of an avocado and pretty much every day..so I either split that half with my wife or I eat it the next day. After a day it will start turning on you...also, this depends a little bit on how ripe it is to begin with...if it's just right it will last...if it's overly ripe it won't and will be brown by the next day. I prefer mine not quite perfectly ripe...just a tiny bit under ripe.0 -

Maybe that was the issue I had before...I didn't leave the pit in it. Nobody else in my family likes avocado. But I generally have no problems fitting in a whole one. Like, if it's for lunch, then that *is* my lunch, with a bit of diced tomato and onions and garlic.0 -

That's a shame because this recipe is healthy for you. It's a good excuse to have mousse and not be at all guilty!
You can substitute the coconut oil. All it really does is help emulsify the dry ingredients while you're mixing them together.0
