Q: I'm on a diet. Can I still eat avocados?


A: Yes. The key to losing weight is eating fewer calories than you burn off. A one-ounce serving of avocados is 50 calories, so you can easily fit the fruit into a standard 2,000 calorie-a-day diet. The key to weight loss is to cut back on how much you're eating, incorporate more nutrient-rich, calorie-poor fruits and vegetables and try to move more.
