I was eating probably 2 avocados weekly but slacked off for some reason and the other day realized WHY the low low energy/fatigue hit me...low potasssium. I took a higher dose of potassium and fatigue lifted. I'm looking at 2 beautiful organic avocados right now ready to open one and eat with my tuna salad for breakfast.
Avocados are one of the few foods that is high in calories, yet, low in carbs. It was highly recommended for someone like me who is pre diabetic, yet underweight. Of course, I can't eat them because I am allergic. There is a protein in them that mimics tree pollen - so eating them brings on a really bad response. Too bad, because, I could sure use the extra calories.
Not sure how they would fit into a diet if your goal is to lose weight.

They are very filling and keep you satiated because of the fat content.
The fat in avocados and similar foods will not make you gain weight if you forego the carbohydrates. Skip the chips and use celery. What I do is add pico de gallo and eat it in lettuce wraps. Delicious.
