    love them maybe not daily but they are good and healthy and can be added to a huge variety of things easily wish they weren't so expensive but lucky you can slice and freeze and use then when prices go up too much to buy fresh

    I eat one for breakfast everyday, I scrape out a bigger hole (the flesh I scrape out goes into my smoothie) crack an egg in each and bake, YUMMY.

    I ate 1 per day and lost 171lbs... just have to count the calories from it ;).

    Well how's that for motivation? That's awesome! I'm definitely going to start eating more of them!

    I've always thought I shouldn't have them too often. Dang. Should've joined these forums before!

    Don't be afraid of avocados! They are your friend :) As others said just fit them in your macros and you're good!

    Should I be concerned that they often speak to me then?

    Haha that must've been awesome. Then again, we get maple syrup every spring. So there's that.

    When the price is right on them? I love them and see no reason to limit them as long as they fit in your calories/macros. That will be my plan once winter's over. I love them in salad.

    What an odd subject.. I love those dang things. But they have lots of fat. I know it's healthy fat, but it's still fat. My question is, how often would you think they should be eaten? I could eat them everyday but obviously that's not a great idea.

    They're one of my favorites, and I eat them when on sale a few times a week. I love them with lime juice in a mock-guac :smile:

    When I can find them, and they're respectable looking, and they're on sale (seriously, they're regularly $2.50 EACH here, and mostly look about 3 months too old to eat, not saleable).

    $0.49/avocado? I'm jealous. I rarely find them for less than $2 apiece 'cause we have to import them from Mexico.

    Same where I live. Last one I bought was $2.99.

    I love them, though. Have been eating about one a week, but if you get a good price and enjoy them I see nothing wrong with eating them a lot more often than that.
