"Avocado"

Ahhh!!! the "Avocado"; the fruit Crossfitters have come to love the most and traditional dieters fear.  Usually the fear is the fat it contains but what most don't know or care to find out is that the fat it contains isn't bad for you.  Its the kind of fat (monounsaturated) the breaks down in your body easier which makes it more readily available for an energy source.  Along with energy, consumption of avocado can be a preventive to Breast, Oral and Prostate Cancer, it aids in lowering Cholesterol, as well as aiding in Nutrient Absorption.  It is important to make sure to eat it in proper moderation (servings).  Proper moderation can differ per person; the average avocado has 30g of fat.  If you consider a serving or a block (Zoners) of fat to be 1.5g (1 tablespoon) than you should get roughly 20 servings per avocado.  So for those that didn't know, now you can slice up that avocado and put it on whatever you want without and know that you are getting healthier wtih every bite.
