Avocado....

[suprman09]

Would anyone incorporate this in their diet? If you mix avocado and tuna together it is pretty good with a little salt and pepper. Here is the nutr. info.:

yeah, deff, avocado is very heart freindly, very cal dense as you can see but with tuna would be pretty good in right amounts.

some will "nit-pick" and say dont mix with carbs which is up to you. but very good and healthy...

it is high in fats but its mostly om e ga 3 fats (I think)

^^Agreed.

Tuna and avacado is a great meal. Also, I like to make up a spinach, avacado, and chicken salad.

Most of the fats are monounsats....full of fibre, also. Obviously the amount used would have to properly fit into daily macro nutrients.

i LOVE avocados. i use them quite a bit. Get all your EFAs in avocados.

great healthy addition to your diet if used as one of your sources of EFAs. I use reguarly as well as nuts, seeds, olives, and flax oil/fish oil. A selection of fat sources should be used as they all contain different nutrients and minerals ect.
