<div><p>Avocados are one of the most popular foods that healthy people seem to put in everything. They add it to salads, they eat it raw, there really seems to be endless options for this particular treat. The problem is, health experts are concerned that people might be eating too much of it. </p><p>Nutritionists say that we need to limit our intake of avocados otherwise we could all be in for a surprising and annoying result: a whole bunch of weight gain. </p><p>Avocados are known for their fatty nature, but because they are thought of as "the good fats" people don't often realize that by eating too much you will have the same result as eating too much of any fats. There is roughly 22g of fat per avocado, which is about a third of how much you should be eating in one day. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_1050px.jpg 1050w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_1150px.jpg 1150w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/avocado_GH_content_1250px.jpg 1250w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>There are also 250-280 calories per fruit, so even though there is a bunch of fiber and vitamins inside, it can lead to weight gain if you eat too much. </p><p><a href="http://sheerluxe.com/2017/04/11/how-much-avocado-healthy">Nutritionists sugges</a>t that you don't eat more than half of an avocado a day.
