They really arent lol. Theyre low in protein, low in calories (energy), and higher in carbohydrates and sugar. Theyre nature candy. Avocados are essentially the perfect fruit with a reasonable content of carbohydrates, very low amount on the sugar, and filled with good fats. Calories in, calories out based eating needs to be thrown out the window. You can stay under 2000 calories a day by eating crap food like potato chips, ice cream, or a pizza, and your body will still look like trash and you will feel like garbage.

You're right that calories in, calories out doesn't tell the whole story about overall health but TC is worried about getting fat so it does matter when it comes to weight gain. Bananas aren't the best source of protein but neither are avocados. Both bananas and avocados are a healthy part of a balanced diet but it is much easier to over eat avocados due to their high calorie content. Bananas are great for weight loss since they're packed with vitamins, are low in calories, and is decently high in fiber. The fiber is what prevents your blood sugar levels from spiking from all the carbs so no it's nothing like candy. The fibers in bananas will also keep you satiated for longer so you won't be tempted to snack as much. So like I said, its not just about counting calories but reducing the temptation to snack.

Avocados are great too. Lots of vitamins, high in fiber and high in calories for those of you that need to bulk. Definitely need to be cautious when losing weight tho.
