May is here and Cinco de Mayo<\/a><\/strong> is just around the corner. You know what that means: Guacamole<\/a> <\/strong>season\u2014which in my mind \u00a0lasts from around May through September\u2014is upon us!<\/p>\n

\"guac\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It may be obvious, but Guacamole is probably my favorite food, one of the three things I would want with me on a desert island. A few years ago I even had a “guac off” for my birthday party, asking guests to bring different versions of the classic green condiment\/first-course which we of course then taste-tested and voted on. Versions included one with cranberries, one with chipotle chilis, and one with bacon. All were delicious, no surprise.<\/p>\n

The good new is, guacamole is made of all sorts of good for you stuff: the avocados are full of heart healthy omega 3s<\/a> <\/strong>and the onions, cilantro, jalepeno, and so forth provide a ton of nutrients. But moderation is not something I have an easy time practicing with guacamole, and I know I’m not alone: nutrition sites suggest a serving size of 1 oz., or about 2 Tablespoons. But as anyone who’s ever planted themselves next to the guac bowl at a party, it’s hard to stop there. I’ve easily eaten 2\/3 of a cup on my own, which contains more like 244 calories. (Let’s not even get into the calories from the chips, which shoot this number way way up!)<\/p>\n

This past Friday a friend threw a “Dos de Mayo” party, in anticipation of the real deal on the 5th. True to form I ate a lot of guacamole\u2014probably around that 2\/3 cup mark.<\/p>\n

What were my options for burning off the extra 244 calories?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"mingle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I could have stood around talking and mingling for 113 minutes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"frisbee\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I could have tossed around a frisbee for 68 minutes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"line<\/a><\/p>\n

Or I could have led friends through rounds of the Macarena for 46 minutes.<\/p>\n

I wound up standing around and talking. Not the best way to improve my fitness levels, but it got the job done.<\/p>\n
