Good to know: Fat in avocado
Avocado is high in healthy fat. The fat in the avocado contains mainly unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fat lowers blood LDL cholesterol. Too high LDL cholesterol is not good for the blood vessels and can eventually lead to cardiovascular disease. Because the avocado contains a lot of fat, it provides a lot of calories.
One avocado provides about 360 kcal and contains 35 grams of fat. Instead of eating a whole avocado at once, it is advisable to eat half an avocado per person. The fact that the avocado leads to a full feeling also makes it easier to forget tempting sweets and deep-fried snacks. As long as your overall diet is healthy and you do not consume too many calories, you do not have to see the avocado as a fattener.
