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.

    Earlier this week I sprinkled some slices with mrs dash onion and herb seasoning and popped them in the oven for about 20 minutes. Heavenly

    Fit them into your calories - macros and you're set!

    Absolutely - I eat them all the time. Fat doesn't make us fat, too many calories do. Fit them into your goals, they are great for you! I lost the weight and dropped to a size 4 eating heaps of avocados. Yum yum.

    When I find them for $0.49 @ Aldi, I eat them daily.

    For some reason, my Aldi here in Kansas always has them for ridiculous prices. They're 29-cents this week here and I'm stocking up!

    I say if you want them every day, eat them every day. I want some now.

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

    I don't even remember how much I paid the last time I bought them. It was a rare week when I didn't have to budget every penny while grocery shopping!

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

    Love avocados!! Ate half of one for breakfast on some toast. Mash with salt, pep, red pep flakes. Topped with arugula and tomato. If you want to really indulge a splash of EVOO and some good balsamic. *drools*

    They are great for salads because you don't need dressing. Just a small amount of EVOO/balsamic and the avocado breaks down and mixes into creamy goodness.

    I am so trying them in the oven like you mentioned.

    I eat them just about every day. 1 small or 1/2 big one.

    Usually they're for salads but I'll happily put some s&p on and eat one with a spoon.

    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

    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!

    Avocado's are not people. They don't have opinions...Sorry couldn't resist.

    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?
