One Avocado has 4 grams of protein, 15 gms carbohydrate and 31 grams of fat. So avocados are mostly fat. However, it is a good fat because avocados contain monounsaturated fat (19 gms in 1 avocado) like olive oil and peanut oil.\n\nSo choose avocados like you would any other fat source. If you choose to eat 1/2 avocado per day, you are eating 3 fat servings (diabetic exchanges) which should fit in a healthy eating plan. Or you could compare avocados to the Food Guide Pyramid where 1 medium avocado is a serving of fruit. Hope this isn't confusing, but depending on how you keep track of your food intake (diabetic exchanges or the food guide pyramid), avocados are one of those foods that could be in either group. I would choose the fat group since fat is the predominant nutrient

Mango trees grow best in soils with pH values of 6 to 7,2. If the soil-exchangeable aluminium (Al) is not more than 30 ppm, soils with a pH of 5,5 or higher may be used. \n\nAt pH values lower or higher than 6 to 7,2 the trees may suffer trace-element deficiencies, especially phosphate and potassium. \n\nFor acids and and nutrients of Mango see\nhttp://www.thefruitpages.com/chartmango.shtml

Ok.. Don't laugh at me ... much.  I came up with 6 different possibiites of ages\n1x2x18  ----21 mangoes in the basket.  ( somewhere between 2-5 lbs each means the basket weighed around 60 lbs)  \n\n1x3x12-----16 mangoes in the basket (  48 lbs)\n1x6x6--- eliminate this answer because there is an "oldest" \n1x4x9--- 14 mangoes (42 lbs)\n2x2x9-- 13 mangoes ( 39 lbs)\n3x3x4---10 mangoes (30 lbs)  could you imagine the insanity of that household???\n\nThe reason for the third clue?  Probably not a native where the mangoes grow (latin america and south america) So maybe the basket is a shopping basket?\n\nWow. to narrow this down one would have to make many assumptions.\nSo any of the previous answers should work depeding on the type of basket.

BMR will make a difference, but nothing that is such that claims of 'you can eat ridicuoulsy more amounts of food becuase you have more LBM' are even near the truth; Muscle tissuse is metabolically active, but not a fat displacement vacuum. Based on the study above, you are looking at maximal increases in caloric expenditure (to sustain muscle mass) at no more than 100-150cal per 24hr period and that is pushing it.\n\nBMR will go up when eating, but let us not confuse that with TEF (thermic expenditure of food; that energy required to digest). BMR will only go up and stay up when there is both an increase in active tissue (both fat and muscle) as well as increased activity at the cellular level.

Well! There was a "Marie Claire" article a few years ago about women in Jamaica eating chicken fat to make their butts huge.....I am sure that she has other fine attributes...you may want to mention them to her...

Apple,Orange,Grapefruit...Basically all fruits are high in nutrients..but most of them have a lot of fructose as well(sugar of fruits)...fruits like bananas and grapes must be consumed just a few times in a week.

it depends on where the Mangoes are from.  most mangoes I've tasted while I was in the netherlands are not too sweet.  In comparison, Cebu, Philippines mangoes are still in abundance especially at this time of the year.  They remained sweet and the price is fair.

No not really. Nature intended for us to eat the fruit not just drink the juice. How many oranges are you drinking with a glass of juice. The fruite by itself has the pulp in it which helps regulate the sugar. With out the pulp you are getting a sugar blast.\n\nIf you are seriouse about weight loss then check out these links below.

Yes, Avocados are good for you, when eaten in moderation.\nA recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons, or roughly one-sixth of a medium-sized avocado. Each serving provides 5 grams of fat and 55 calories. Still, compared with butter or mayonnaise -- which each pack 22 fat grams and 200 calories in a 2-tablespoon serving -- they don't seem so bad.\nIt's true that avocados are high in fat -- one reason they've earned the nickname "butter pear." A medium-sized avocado contains 30 grams of fat, as much as a quarter-pound burger. That's why diet experts have long urged Americans to go easy on avocados in favor of less fatty fruits and vegetables. But now nutritionists are taking another look. They're finding that most of the fat in an avocado is monounsaturated -- the "good" kind that actually lowers cholesterol levels. Thanks to this new understanding, the U.S. government recently revised its official nutrition guidelines to urge Americans to eat more avocados.\nResearchers have also discovered that avocados are rich in beta-sitosterol, a natural substance shown to significantly lower blood cholesterol levels.\nThe USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2000 extols the value of fruits and vegetables in the diet and reports that avocados contain "good" unsaturated fats that do not raise blood cholesterol. Although the avocado is high in fat, 60% of the fat is monounsaturated, 20% is polyunsaturated, and 20% is saturated. The edible portion of an 8-ounce California avocado yields 30 grams of fat.\n\nNutritionally the avocado leads all other fruits in beta carotene and even exceeds the banana in potassium. While other fruits gain sugar as they ripen, the avocado's sugar content decreases as it matures. It contains more protein, potassium, magnesium, folic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, pantothenic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin K per ounce than any other fruit.\n\nProof of the avocado's wealth of nutrition shows up in the USDA Nutrient Database. Though the avocado is calorie dense, (one-half cup pureed flesh contains 204 calories), the benefits outweigh the concern over its total fat content of 19.9 grams. That same one-half cup of pureed avocado packs a protein content of 2.4 grams with 3.1 grams of fiber. Using that same quantity, the avocado contains only 8 grams of carbohydrates and a surprising 704 IU of vitamin A. It's rich in the B vitamins, especially niacin, scoring 2.20 mg., folic acid registering 75.4 mcg., calcium at 13 mg., iron at 1.36 mg., and a mountain of potassium showing 729 mg.\nHere is a good recipe for Avocado- Mango salsa (one of my fav's)\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/pages/23/111437.htm

Nuts, olives and avocados are the plant foods with the highest fat content.\n\nThey're very nutritious but if you're trying to lose weight, you may want to exclude them from your diet until you are at your goal weight.

The answers so far are pseudo-scientific nonsense.\nFood does not rot in your stomach.\nGlycemic index tells you nothing about your metabolic rate.\nFiber has nothing to do with metabolism and neither has digestion nor the peristaltic movements of your gut.\nFruit is tasty however.\nI can't find any scientific reference to the effect of fruit upon metabolism.

Oranges, blueberries & tomatoes are the three fruits that make up part of the 14 superfoods. \n\nOranges contain high levels of vit C, fibre, beta-carotene, folic acid and are low GI & low in fat. They also contain high levels of anti-oxidents. A recent study showed they contain 170 different phytochemicals and more than 60 anti-oxidents. \n\nBlueberries are at the top of the list for health giving fruits. They have been shown to reduce the risks of cancer & heart disease and are packed with Vit C & E and disease fighting compounds. Blueberries are very high in anti-oxidents and are associated with memory, feelings of alertness and clear thinking. \n\nTomatoes proven if you eat them regulary they are a wonderful fruit. They are known as being special as they are the richest source of lycopene (protects against heart disease) and reduce risks of breast cancer (not really a concern to you) and prostate cancer. \n\nPineapple is another great fruit. High in anti-oxidents and are packed with Vits and are great anti-depressant.\n\nI love having them as separate fruits like blueberry smoothies, or freshly squeezed orange juice, or tomato soup. If you like pineapple I have some with mint, ice and ginger it's a great juice in the morning.\n\nJust note that it's proven that whilst fruits are great, vegie juices are much better with less sugar and calories. But fruit juices do tend to taste much nicer.

Apples will not make you gain weight!  Apples are a "negative calorie" food.  What that means is that your body burns more calories digesting that apple than what your body absorbed from eating it.  Other negative calorie fruits include:\napples\ncranberries\ngrapefruit\nlemons mangos\noranges\npineapple raspberries\nstrawberries\ntangerines \n\nI know the vegies too so if interested in those, just let me know.

Be careful with juice.  I have been doing some research and fruit juice is too concentrated with simple sugars which can cause you to gain weight.  Vegetable juices are better.  The best juicers are strong enough to pulverize the pulp into juice so you drink that also.  The extra pulp will be a great source of fiber and offset the sugar concentration.  The strongest juicers are also the most expensive but worth it in the long run!  Good Luck!
