Coincidentally I had avocado with an egg and a small tin of baked beans for lunch yesterday when I was looking for something quick and easy to make. My husband saw this photo and said “that’s a lot of beans” but it’s only a side plate, not a dinner plate 😃
I only had a 1/4 of the 450g tin of baked beans yesterday and it still looks like a lot on 5he plate. Am sure there the same as yours a very popular Australian brand, so I know how tasty they are.
Am in hotels for the next two days and will have to think on what I can make with the rest of tin when I get back.
Hi Kaz747
I think reading your post earlier today influenced my choice of evening meal, as I enjoyed some delicious Avocado, and it was scrumptious!

I think when discussing heart healthy food we need to differentiate between people with existing heart problems versus those who wish to maintain a healthy heart. Foods that are generally recommended as heart healthy can actually be very bad for those with conditions associated with bad heart health. I put avocados in that class.
If someone has a bad heart condition then advising them to eat avocados may be very bad for them. On the other hand for someone who is healthy the odd avocado is a good addition to meals.

Hi andyswarbs. As with avocados, in all probability, it's the amount of fat that they have, which, I guess, could be detrimental because of the overall calorie count. The fats are, however, monounsaturated, which, depending on what you read, is good for you. Now, I think the only thing here is, they are still a type of omega 6 fat, and the current info "wars" of late say we get too much omega 6 type. This is a typical, as I would call it, and many others too, a symptom of something called "bro-science". That is to say, someone reads a study on the net on the latest and greatest new findings, which is not really new, because these so-called up-dated research findings are still going back and forth with the same info, to eat, or, not to eat. The term bro-science comes into play when someone reads one of these articles, then passes it along to others as "gospel truth". I've mentioned before that I really can't make heads nor tails with the constant back and forth with these types of information on fats and oils, to eat, or not to eat.
