Avocados (Green skin)
Is the following nutritional value of 1 avocado given on fit day correct?
Amount Per 1 avocado, Florida (green skin) Calories 489.44 Total Fat 46.57g Saturated Fat 7.41g Polyunsaturated Fat 5.94g Monounsaturated Fat 29.21g Total Carbohydrate 22.47g Dietary Fiber 15.2g Protein 6.02g I just ate a full one (my first one - delicious) and didnt realise how much it contained (all good tho!) When eating do you guys tend to eat a full one at a time, or half? I'll make it fit my intake of 2500 cals if needed, just didnt realise theres so many calories in it! just curious if the data is correct? |

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I eat a whole avocado most days.
I weigh out the flesh though - our grocery-store avocados generally have about 6 ounces of flesh. I checked the USDA nutrient database and programmed in avocado flesh - 6 ounces has 282 calories - 26g fat, 15g carb (11 of which are from fibre), and 3g of protein. |

I know that 1 cup of mashed ripe avocado contains 400 (give or take 50) calories and 40 grams of fat. |

If eating only half an avocado cover the uneaten half in a plastic bag, place in the fridge and ensure that the stone is left in it. It shouldn't oxidise (flesh goes brown/black) if you do that.

 Proteins are good... Fats are good...  Carbs are the problem!

Lemon juice, put flat side down on a plate. And wrap up.
