1. Yes, avocados are high in fat – but it’s the good kind of fat

It’s true—one medium avocado contains about 240 calories and 22 grams of fat.
However, unlike the saturated fat found in fried or processed foods, avocado fat is mostly monounsaturated fat—the same kind found in olive oil that benefits the heart.

These fats not only support heart health, but also help balance hormones, keep you feeling full, and reduce sugar cravings—all of which can help you maintain a healthy weight.

2. Avocado helps you feel full longer

One of the biggest challenges in weight management is fighting constant hunger
.
This is where avocados excel: they’re rich in fiber—about 10 grams per fruit—which slows digestion, keeping you feeling full for hours.

A 2013 study published in the Nutrition Journal found that people who added half an avocado to their lunch felt 23% more full and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the next five hours.

Even though avocados are high in calories, they can actually help you eat less.
