I'm obsessed with avocados now. Any idea on how much is a good amount per day?

I'd say it's pretty hard to overdose on avocados.

But what about the PUFAS?!?!?, you say? This ain't refined oxidized corn oil, folks. It's a raw, unprocessed, whole food.

I ate 3 (one with each meal) yesterday because if I had waited for today, they would have been overripe.

This is how I normally eat them though, if I buy 4 they all seem to get ripe at the same time, and I HATE throwing away a fruit that costs $2/apiece.

I do this about twice a month.

If you throw them in the fridge after they're ripe, they'll stop ripening and last a few more days. – Miriam Mar 3 2012 at 16:55

Maybe I just want to eat three in a day... ever think of that? ;-) – Joshua Mar 3 2012 at 23:37

I would eat avocado at every meal if it were possible :D – Miriam Mar 4 2012 at 14:13

I wouldn't eat that many. Read this thread for more info:
