With all the vitamins, fiber, and healthy fat in avocados, it’s hard to imagine guacamole being bad for you. But you should keep in mind what you’re eating with the guacamole. Because guacamole is usually served as a dip, it can keep you reaching for more and more chips. Also, guacamole is a common topping for tacos, which may contain fatty meat and tons of sodium all wrapped up in corn tortillas. These foods can rack up calories quickly, along with excessive amounts of carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and preservatives. As with everything, moderation is key. Guacamole can be healthy. But eating too much unhealthy food paired with large quantities of guacamole can harm your health and cause weight gain. That said, the average person eats roughly seven pounds of avocados per year, according to Time. By comparison, the average American adult consumes an average of 60 pounds of added sugar each year, according to the American Heart Association. That’s more than triple the recommended amount for women. American children consume an average of over 65 million pounds of added sugar per year. If you’re gaining weight, guacamole isn’t the likely culprit. Instead, you may be eating too many unhealthy foods in general.
