They aren't on the phase 2 foods to enjoy list... but they aren't on the foods to avoid list either. What's the deal w/ avocados?

I believe they are listed under fats. 1/3 = 1 fat serving, if I recall correctly. I will have to go check!

Lisa.

Yep -

Avocado - 1/3 whole = 1 TBS oil
Guacamole - 1/2 cup = 1 TBS oil

Does anyone know how many oil servings are required/allowed during Phase 2? I've only been limiting it to one serving, usually avocado, but occasionally olives b/c I don't want to overdo it.

So, it's looking like it's about 2 to 2-1/2 servings of oil per day. Thanks so much.
