are 2 avocados a day bad for me if trying to lose bodyfat and at the same time build muscle?

Question

alright i dont follow calories, what i do is look at what i need a day in macro-nutrients so i i'll only count the grams i need in carbs, fats, and protein. so if i'm within my range in these three maco-nutrients (especially fats) i should be ok right? also i spread them out to 6 meals a day.

Answer 1

I know that you don't go by calories... but since you are trying to lose weight it only makes sense that I explain it that way since the only way you can lose it is if you create a calorie deficit (3,500 calories = one pound). One medium hass avocado has about 276 calories so eating two of them won;t blow you're diet at all. Besides, the type of fat a hass avocado supplies is monounsaturated and heart healthy, so basically they're a great choice.

Answer 2

In order to burn fat and build muscle you need to consume a lot of protein everyday especially after you exercise. Avocados are high in fat so you would do better to eat meat which contains both protein and the fats you need.

Answer 3

Not really, avocados have a very good amount of protein, and not that much fat. It is very healthy, and has a nice taste to it. Just make sure you don't surround it in fatty foods. Guacamole is ok, but make it w/ olive oil, and put tomatoes in it for color. And a few spices.

Answer 4

yes, i love avocados and have been pigging out on them and, alas, regaining the damn fat. i am addicted to avocados since i stopped eating chicken meat, infested with antibiotics and growth hormones.



so hard to get it right. we are what we eat and i hope i turn into a green person but not too heavy.

Answer 5

depends

are you able to digest the avocados?

Cause if not they are going to just pile in your stomach and you are just going to bulge

Answer 6

I love avocados....eat them very good for you !!
