Subtle Walmart bashing.....my Walmart is just fine with produce and not overpriced.
Having said that, why do people presume fat = bad? Avocados are healthy. I eat them regularly. Even from Walmart.0 -
I eat a whole avocado every day. Half in the morning, other half with dinner.
I have never found these to cause weight gain. I guess this is where "If it fits your macros comes in".0 -
OP...you're confusing nutrition with calories. Just because something is calorie dense doesn't make it "bad" for you...likewise, just because something is low calorie doesn't mean it has any nutritional value.
Yes, avocados are a calorie dense food...thus if you ate a ton of avocados it would be really easy to go over your calorie goals. But they are an extremely nutrient dense food as well...they are very good for you. I eat 1/2 an avocado probably 4 days per week...they're awesome.0 -
Eating too much lettuce can tip the scales the wrong way.0

baked avocado fries? interesting...please post or message me on how to make.0

Of course they can tip the scales the wrong way if you eat too much of them. Eating in excess is what causes weight gain. If you eat a reasonable amount of them, you'll be fine, just like anything else.0

Lol, aboslutely nothing is wrong with fruit flies. I just don't like them on my apple when I take a bite0

Eating too much of anything can tip the scale in the wrong way... I personally love avocados and they have been a staple in my diet since I started my journey... Always remember everything in moderation.0

In for the 'Avocado fries' recipe. PLEASE POST!0

In general they're good for you, although they aren't super low in calories. But they're very healthy.
I think I'll have guacamole for dinner tonight.0 -
In my experience, whenever I've eaten a lot of avocados, which is whenever I can get my greedy hands on ripe ones, they help me to stay satisfied for long periods of time and lose weight. I can easily eat one or two a day. Yum!0

I brought 2 small ones to work today. I eat about 4-5 a week. I cut them in half and eat them right out of the skin with a spoon. Definitely one of my favorites.0

Avocado is so wonderful. I make chunky guacamole with avocado, tomato, onion, garlic & lime and put it on burgers and other sandwiches instead of mayo. It's so yummy, sometime I just eat it for a snack.0

Avocados are awesome for you! High is MUFAs. Just measure what you eat and log your calories.0
-
I eat one at least 3X per week. Avocados are AWESOME.0
-
I live in Avoca...never heard of it being a food tho. I may have to Google that.
Would it happen to be the Avoca that is in SW MN? Saw the title of the post and thought the exact same thing! :laugh:0 -
I need that recipe for baked avo fries!0
-
I love avocados!! I eat a few every week!0
-
Really healthy, really delicious, perfect food!0

Everything tastes better with avocado. I use it as a mayo substitute, add it to omelettes, top my chili with it instead of sour cream and cheese. It is a very healthy addition to your diet and at the end of the day, it shouldn't be just about how many calories are in a food, but whether the food is giving you back nutrients to be healthy.0
