How much avacado is too much?

jw17695

I seem to be on an avocado binge lately. I’ll eat anywhere from 2 little ones to 2 very large ones a day. I was wondering how much is too much? I know they are a great source of fiber and healthy fats. Can it be bad to eat too much of the good fats?

Thanks,
Jillian

Fat doesn't make you fat and neither do Avocado's Eat away girlfriend

As long as it fits into your logging, I don't see a problem.

A lot of people worry about avocados since they're so high in cholesterol, but I think that there's certainly a lot worse things you could be eating - the benefits of avocados are awesome!

i eat at least 1 a day... sometimes 1.5. if it fits in your calories GO FOR IT!!

As long as you stay within your fat goals, eat away! It is healthy/good fat.. variety is always best though. So, just make sure that isn't the ONLY fat you are getting. Also, I weigh all my servings of avocado by grams now... I used to use the "1/2 of a small avocado", etc., but, when I weigh it out in grams, it actually isn't as many calories as I thought I was eating.

My dad eats an avacado every day in his lunch... I think it is a good thing... so enjoy!

I aim for a good balance of carbs/protein/fat - not just a target calorie number. If I ate two avocados a day, I'd be way over in fat... even if it's good fat, it would throw me off balance. I can see occasionally having a lot of avocado in one day,but usually I try to eat it in moderation, like most things. For me, 1/4 to 1/2 of an avocado is a normal portion.

2 avocados a day - regardless of the size - seems a bit excessive to me, even if it does fit into your calorie goals.

The more fat the better! Eat fat to lose fat!! Enjoy your weight loss!

Congrats on your weight loss, 32 pounds is great!! So if you are losing weight I wouldn't worry about it I suppose. They have great benefits... that said -- according to http://www.avocado.org/nutrition/ a serving size is 1/5th of an avacado, so the total fats from 2 would be 45 grams and 5 of that is saturated fat... so I guess the questions is does that fit into your goals?
