Fine, let’s play the calorie game. If you’re eating half an avocado on top of a mountain of donuts? Yeah, that’s too much. But that’s not the avocado’s fault. That’s the donuts being jerks.
Generally speaking, half an avocado is a perfect portion. It’s the Goldilocks of produce. Not too little to make you sad, not too much to make you feel like a professional sumo wrestler. It’s just right.
Unless you’re eating it with an entire bag of chips. Then you’ve got bigger problems, my friend. And I respect your choices.

The Green Guilt Trip
There’s also this weird guilt trip we put ourselves on. “Ooh, I’m being so indulgent with this avocado toast.” Indulgent? It’s a fruit! You don’t feel guilty for eating an apple, do you?
Okay, bad comparison. An apple doesn’t cost $2.50 and require a mortgage to buy. But point stands. Enjoying an avocado is not a crime. It’s a lifestyle choice. A delicious, creamy, Instagram-worthy lifestyle choice.
