Are avocados worth ALL the fuss??

I change my mind daily. One moment I am smearing an avocado spread on everything under the sun, and the next, I feel like .59 cents is out of my price range. Do they even taste good? I don’t really know. My friend will eat them out of the shell, er, peel? Casing? No idea, but she will just spoon the greeny goodness right out of the shell casing peel. 

Do other people do that, and I am just the weird one? Don’t get me wrong, I think they are good – like a fancy addition to a meal, but by no means should they be the main course. Half the time, I don’t even put them on my tacos. Again, taste-wise they are good, but are they 9 kcals per 1 gram of fat good? Absolutely not. 

Should life be measured in “is it worth the calories?” Again, absolutely not. This is probably a point of view that most people don’t even consider. But, this IS a fitness blog, so I’m gonna talk calories and worth, as it pertains to everyday life. Kind of like when people discuss hourly wages in exchange for your time. Is it worth it? Nobody can decide that but you.

When I am not tracking, or I have accidentally under-eaten all day, I will avocado it up. Like avocados daily and nightly and ever-so-rightly. Why not boost my calorie intake through a little slice of green goodness. What did surprised me most was that homemade guacamole is actually calorically affordable, meaning I can eat a decent amount before I need to slow down. What hems me up is the tortilla chips that escort it to my mouth. 

Do you have any fun ways to eat avocados that would make them worth the calories? Find me on Insta, or email me directly through the website! Bye for now my friends!
