Avocado

Yellow: Limit or adjust

Can fit, but the portion, preparation, or current symptoms may change how avocado feels.

Why it received this rating

Avocado provides fiber, potassium, and mostly unsaturated fat. It is nutritious, but a large portion may feel heavy because fat slows digestion further.

Portion and preparation guidance

Start with about 1/4 to 1/2 of a medium avocado and pair it with lean protein or whole-grain toast.

Symptoms or considerations

Reduce the portion if you notice nausea, reflux, diarrhea, or long-lasting fullness.

Individual tolerance varies. This rating is general educational guidance, not a statement that this food is medically safe or unsafe for you. Follow advice from your prescriber or registered dietitian.
