Is avocado worth the calories ?

Hi! I think most people will give 'avocado' a thumbs up. I use it with McCormick "Great Guacamole' seasoning mix. I use the whole avocado. The mix is only 10 calories per teaspoon. I then have a huge plate of viggies and still have a very lite, low calorie meal, or snack.
It is usually right by the avocados. You could have a piece of protein with it....but for me is very filling. Enjoy!0 -
why oh why don't i feel the same way about celery as i do about avocado!!!0

Absolutely. And I eat the whole one, which is why I pick them small, even if they are sold as a unit price. Unless I am sharing with hubby, then I get a bigger one. I have yet to find a fool-proof way of saving part of an avocado

absolutely. When I have calories left-over, I eat an entire avocado with a bit of pink salt on top or sometimes, low-sodium soy sauce. One week, I ate one entire avocado for 4 days straight and it never hindered my weight loss.0

It most certainly is worth the calories!0

I think it would depend on how many calories you have to spare.... if I was on a tight "budget" I would probably not eat an avocado. But.. I'm not.0

Love love love avocados! I probably eat some every day, but not more than 1/4 of a whole. Definitely worth the added nutrition and of course the added flavour, yum!0

I eat 1/2 avocado daily so its not really that high in calories. 125 calories of pure awesomeness.
I mix mine with 7 grape tomatoes (food processed) and use it for a spread for sandwiches or tacos.0 -
It's definately tres healthy but i hear ya on the calories thing. I love trail mix, and i know it's healthy but i have decided to omit it for a bit until i reach my goal or for a weekend treat. It bumps up my calories too much and leaves me feeling hungry to take those calories from somewhere else. I guess i could treadmill those calories....lol. Anyway, maybe do a half serving two days in row?0

In the summer, when they're ripe and cheap, I always think avocados are worth it. I tend to eat just 1/2 in a meal though, and save the other 1/2 for later.0
