Very good @Shaz51 Tasty & healthy (Avocado or egg).
I love Avocadoes, yet don't buy any - so could definitely add that to my diet.
The same with eggs, I rarely have any.
As a vegetarian, I'm supposed to eat more eggs (they're good for me).

Yep @Shaz51 I've been warned about corn (in the past).
Corn is high in starch - so is potato, although that's better.
Starch converts to sugar in your body, which ups your blood sugar.

Corn chips are much worse than fresh corn @Shaz51
I used to buy packets of corn chips, because they're cheap.
Deitician said that's bad for my blood sugar levels.
So I eat occasional potato chips (crisps) instead.
