Yes definitely. They are mainly consisted of healthy fats monounsaturated fats. (Good Fats). They also contain more potassium than bananas and lots and lots and lots of fiber. They contain more fiber than any other fruit. (Insoluble and soluble fiber)

I dont know how many you should eat a week, but if you consumed 2-3 a week i dont think thats a bad thing. I try to get atleast 2 a week.

Yes Avacado's are good for you. They contain good fats, affectionately called "MUFA's" . They are a part of the Mediterranean Diet. When added to your diet they can actually help you to lose that stubborn tummy fat.
