Most people are aware that eating too much trans-fat
or saturated fat can lead to many cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack
and heart disease. Although the avocado is high in fat, it is a great
substitute for other fats because it is high in mono and polyunsaturated fats.
Unsaturated fats are better for heart health. The avocado also provides almost
20 vitamins and minerals that can be very beneficial to your diet. One serving
size of an avocado is one oz, or 1/5 of a large avocado. There is then roughly
5 servings within one avocado, each serving is 50 calories containing 35
calories from fat. Avocados can have multiple sizes so it can be difficult to
say exactly how many calories are in each avocado. Even so, it can be said that
each half has around 130 calories. Even though an avocado may be higher in
calories it is a very nutrient dense food. This means that it has many benefits
such as the vitamins and minerals that it contains for a relatively small
amount of calories. The avocado is a great super food that works wonders when
added to your diet.
