Avocado's & Almonds
I love both. I keep reading that they should be part of everyones diet, but aren't they loaded with calories. I do eat the almonds after working out and as a snack. I also like to make guacamole. Is it sometimes better to each foods high in vitamins and minerals that are high in calories. TIA

Re: Avocado's & Almonds
I've heard that almonds and avocado both have great health benefits. I love guacamole so much that I can eat it without chips!

Re: Avocado's & Almonds
One almond has around 8 calories. So they're not loaded with calories. They're great for helping suppress your appetite a little too.
Avocados have much more calories. I had to look it up - they have around 325 calories. But who eats a whole avocado anyway?

Re: Avocado's & Almonds
Both are high in fat for the size portion, but it's the "good fat" so is seen as a healthy food. Almonds are great for curbing your appetite!

Re: Avocado's & Almonds
When I was at my thinnest (size 2-4) I lived on both. They help reduce cravings for other crap, are satisfying and give you a lot of energy. I have been eating them again, and I am losing my baby weight. Yum!!!
