    Avocado?

    Hi Everyone!

    Just curious but would I count an Avocado as a fat? I'd like to slice up half of one and add it to my salad today.

      It has fat in it.

      It's actually a "Special Category" food ... and it's a fruit.

          You count avocado as avocado.

          It has a high fat content, that's true.

          Are you using FitDay?

              I haven't started using FitDay yet, I'll definately head over there and start today.

                          I love avocado, it's what makes Atkins so good

                              I made a mix of: 1/2 avocado, 1.5 tbsp mayo, dash each of onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper.

                              Mmmmm ... Good~!
