Default Avocado

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON AVOCADOS? I HAVE RECENTLY TRIED ONE AND LIKED IT BUT I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO LIKE THEM IF THEY ARE NOT GOOD FOR ME.
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE.
THANKS

Yep! You can have 1/2 avocado per day even on induction. Here's a recent avocado discussion over in the Kitchen Help forum.

If it's nutrition data you're looking for, check it out aboutproduce.com . HTH.

I do like the Haas best. The other (light green smooth skin) was pretty bland. May not have been ripened right.

Sure make your guacomole-even the store bought is lc with the fiber considered.

If you didnt see avacado in Atkins did you know you can have olives too? Lots of good choices not just bacon anymore0lol

I mix a few chunks of avocado in my canned tuna with a touch of mayo - it is awesome, even my 2.5 year old loves it!!

Thanks for the tip teresamay! I just bought one to try, even tho i dislike guacamole. I figure my tastes have changed alot and maybe it could be a great addition to my diet.
