everything in moderation! They are however a nice alternative to the typical, if you generally enjoy these types of food I would enjoy them before you become active and then burn up the cals. by going on a brisk walk or by doing another form of light exercise, both sweet potatoes and avocados are power foods and can be used as an alternative protein before a workout and are chock full of healthy antioxidants and energizing b vitamins, happy eating.

Avocados have an extremely high fat content (over 15g for a medium sized one). However, sweet potatoes actually have less fat content than regular potatoes.
As for what you add to them to make them into rolls, you would have to look at the ingredients.

Well, avocado is certainly fattening. It has a lot of natural oil in it. But its classed by the health foundation as a good oil and a good fat like Olive oil. Good for you like Olive oil, but fat like olive oil. But if you have to eat something fat, may aswell eat a good fat. And they say that you have to eat good oils to keep your heart healthy!!
There is this fantastic site by Harvard University that helps you know what is fat and if it is fat, if it is still good for you or not. And I guess you can trust it because it is a University website.
Good luck!

any rolls not consumed in a sensable portion are fattening.
