Is avocado good for weight loss?

Avocado is healthy but calorie-dense, so portion size matters. A third or half of one on toast or in a salad adds fibre and healthy fats for 70 to 110 kcal. A whole large avocado can be 300 kcal or more.

Avocado on toast

Half an avocado on a slice of sourdough comes to about 230 to 280 kcal before toppings. Add a poached egg for protein and it makes a filling breakfast of around 300 to 350 kcal.
