I want to know the REAL nutritional information for avocadoes. I have seen everything from 6 g. of fat to 33 g. of fat per avocado. Does anyone here know the truth??

I dunno the actual grams, but I do know it's the good kind of fat.

Per the USDA Database http://www.nalusda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl :

1 California avocado (173 grams wt) w/o skin or seeds has 306 calories, 29.981 grams fat, 8.477 grans fiber

1 Florida avocado (304 grams wt) w/o skin or seeds has 340.480 calories, 26.965 grams fat, 16.112 grams fiber -

I don't remember the conversion factor to convert grams into ounces, so I don't know how many ounces these weigh.

What it does show is Florida avocados have fewer calories, less fat and almost twice the fiber per gram, which means fewer points.

I don't like either of them, so it doesn't matter to me .

HTH!

Regarding fiber and good fat, avocados are a nutritional bonanza and a great way to get both in your diet.
