Does avocado contribute to getting fat and/or gaining weight?

Answer 1

Avocado is chock full of fat... but it's the "good" kind of fat. Whatever that means.

Answer 2

Avocados have a high oil content but it is the good kind of oil which is very good for you. Anything other than water can be fattening, but as as vegetable it is more fattening that other vegetables but a lot less fattening than other foods, in other words if your hooked on avocados don't be worried about that making you fat, it's something else

Answer 3

An average avocado contains 190 kcal, which compares with 47 for an apple, and 95 even for a banana. So yes it does.

Answer 4

Its really good contributed to a diet but not to eat everyday, Avocado has alot of fat in it so it wouldnt be recommended if you were trying to lose weight its definatly a weight gainer although its nice cut in half with prawn cocktail in it! mmm! lol x

Answer 5

Anything that you eat in excess contributes to weight gain. Avocados are fatty fruits so they are not to be eaten in quantity like lettuce or celery. You need to check calories for what you eat and balance it out!

Answer 6

uh.. fruit. veggies. food that doesn't come in a colorful package. the reason u probably have greasy skin and break out is because u don't eat fruit. it's one of the best things for skin, even sometimes better than facial washes, and also ur entire body. but if u must, i suggest a peanut butter n jelly sandwich or rice cakes (the caramel kind are best).

Answer 7

Yes it does, but you can still eat it only in moderation because it contains the heart healthy fats, so enjoy in moderation of course.

Answer 8
