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?

Seems rather high.

those seems more like reasonable figures, ive customised it on fitday to those stat given on the link (1 Florida avocado without skin or seed)

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.

That would depend greatly on the avocado's size and (interestingly) it's ripeness.

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

after cutting the edible part from one, i'll measure it in a measuring cup tomorrow to give me a better indication

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.
