• I’ve been known to take my avocado obsession a bit overboard. (Hi, avocado yoga leggings.) But is being so obsessed with avocado — and eating an entire avocado every single day — actually healthy?

According to this nutritionist, as long as you account for all the fat you’re consuming (so skimp on fat in other places, like by ditching the cheese in a salad, for instance), you should be good. But, she says, half an avocado a day is probably a better habit for your waistline. (I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.) [POPSUGAR Fitness]
