According to caloriecount.about.com, a medium sized avocado has about 276 calories, and 248 of those calories are from fat. It's low in carbs, and has a bit of protein, so it might be a good energy packed snack to have before a workout every once in awhile, but if one snack has 42% of your daily fat intake I personally would keep it as an every once in awhile snack! Of course, a few slices on a salad would have a lot less calories and fat than an entire avocado, and everyone's nutritional needs differ.
I haven't tried avocado yet--how does it taste?

- Mon Aug 22, 2011 7:41 pm #16375 I think avocado has only a few carbs, so it might be good for low-carb dieters who are craving fruit. Carrots are my go-to snack when I crave crunch, but when I want something sweet I usually go for a small amount of dark chocolate to get rid of the craving. Dark chocolate has anti-oxidants.
