I eat a whole avocado 2 sometimes 3 days out of the week.
Is this alright?
after I workout I'm usually craving avocados, eggs and such so I get some pepper, crack open an avocado and eat it like it's ice cream with some hard boiled egg whites.
Is that ok? I'm just maintaing my weight, not looking to lose or anything

    Whyever not? If it fits your macros, it fits your macros. Knock yourself out.

    Any reason why you don't eat whole eggs?

    It is a good, healthy, and natural fat. It's also great for your skin!!! Keep eating them.

    P.S. Eat the whole egg. The concept that eggs actually raise the bad cholesterol in your body is FALSE. It's old information left over from the 1980s and does not have a grain of truth.

    Thanks so much for making me extremely hungry.

    Serious note: Please don't think you have to exclude a certain type of food from your diet to lose weight or be healthy. Avocados have mono-unsaturated fatty acids much like olive oil, it's a good heart-healthy kind of fat. Avocados are amazing in many ways. As long as it's fitting within your calorie goals/macros you've set for yourself, any food should be "OK" and won't hinder your weight loss. Cheers! :drinker:

    Yes, whether you trying lose, maintain or gain, eating 2 - 3 avacados would be just fine.

    I actually have to hide the avocados in my fridge because we all fight over them. We only have them in the summer in chicago so..
    I have to enjoy the wonderful magical awesomeness as much as I can!

    I hope so. I eat a daily avocado at least five days each week.

    I eat avocado 4 or 5 times a week & I haven't had a problem with losing weight. It also helps to keep me regular b/c of all the fiber in it.

    Seriously an avocado is one of the best things you can eat and they help curb cravings for greasy food too...

    I had me a yummy avocado with some mayo and mustard mixed in about half an hour ago for my mid morning snack. Such goodness they are.

    if you're not going over your calories, then why wouldn't it be? EXCELLENT source of good fat and nutrients.

    I am an avaocado *kitten*. Yeah, I said it! (actually tomatoes too). Just this past weekend I ate almost a whole Florida avocado - I turned it into avocado, mango and basil salsa. If you know what they look like they are huge. Although Haas are my favorite, the Florida ones will do nicely (and they are cheaper). Avo is a fantastic food, eat and enjoy!

    Perfectly ok. Avocado is high in good fat. It's excellent for your hair, skin, and nails because it contains essential oils. I think you will be fine.
