Values for avocado vary by brand and how it is cooked. Check the pack. General information, not medical advice.

Mostly fat, mostly the soft kind

Most of the calories in an avocado are fat, so a whole one is a meal-sized number. The fibre is high too. The comparison table puts it beside olive oil and butter so you can see where it sits.

A quarter is a common serve

A 50 g serve is the amount that goes on a slice of toast. If you mash a whole avocado across a table of toast, split the total by the number of slices.

Weigh the flesh

The whole-avocado row is for the flesh only. The skin and stone are not food, so weigh what you scoop out, not what you bought.
