Hi guys,
Was wondering how everyone felt about avocados... I've gotten into the habbit of eating a medium-sized hard-boiled egg and a half avocado for breakfast almost every day...
Does anyone else include them regularly in their menu? How's that going for you?
I've just started last week so everything's still a bit new...
Thank you!

I love them to death. If they were cheap, I would eat them every day!0

I have avocados maybe once a week. They are a little calorie dense, but the fat they have is healthy fat. I'd say as long as you're staying within your calorie goal, then go for it. They're delicious!0

I eat several a week. I love avocado as an excellent source of good fat.0

Just remember that avocado has a lot of fat it in. BUT it IS healthy fat.
I love avocado. I eat it almost everyday too. my fav recipe is:
1 can of chickpeas
1 avocado sliced
1 tomato sliced
1/4 cup of almonds
a couple tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
makes for a really nice salad.0 -

Sounds awesome!0 -
I use them in Salads all the time.
You have to be careful not to eat them too much.
They are a healthy fat but they are still a fat. :bigsmile:0 -
I eat avocados with Hummus a lot! (red pepper hummus, avocado, tomato, and a light cheese on special k crackers)0
-
Yes, they are fantastic! I had half of one this AM on a slice of Ezekiel bread, or I mash them into avocado dip with tomatoes, a little cheese, and a dash of lemon juice. So good!!0

I have a 100 Calorie pack of the Eat Wholly Guacamole almost everyday. It has 3 ingredients (all natural if I remember correct) it has replaced mayo and salad dressing in my meals.0
-
Agreed. I use avocados in my salads all the time... also yummy in wraps! YUM0

I like them on toast, in soups,on salads, with a spoon,in a dip with a blue chip...lol
I buy several and put in veggie bin in the fridge, and pull one out at a time to soften to my desire.0 -
I have avocado almost every day! As a spread in my sandwiches/wraps/cruskits or chopped up into my salads... I love it!
If you like them and they fit into your calorie goal I would say have it as often as you like! I figure since they're in the fruit & veg section they are better for me than plenty of other things - they're fresh & unprocessed!! =D0 -
I love avocados! I eat them all the time and can usually get them comped at Walmart for 2/$1.0

agree - they are full of really fabulous nutrients, and as long as you are building it into you plan its an excellent nutrient source
i eat half almost daily myself... I notice in my skin and nails when i don't0 -
I eat them regularly, I can actually see the difference they make to my skin when I can't get them! Plus they have a good wack of fibre. What a great little package!0

That is not enough protein for a meal. And for the rest of the day you still have to watch your fat content. Avocado is good fat but its still fat & calories. You are eating more Fat that protein. Try eating more egg whites with your Avocado0
-
I eat them every single day. I love that I live so close to the avocado capital of the world.0

I have avocado and light mozzarella salad once a week, I have it with rocket, tomatoes, cucumber and a bit of Italian dressing, yummy, the only thing that would make it better would be if it was served with crusty bread and butter.0
