    Re: Avocados

    oh lord, I think I found the nutritional info! 3 grams per 1/5 so that would be 15 for the whole thing and 7.5 for half!! yikes! Please tell me I can have these on induction?

        Re: Avocados

        California type: 1 fruit: carbs 14,95 / fiber 11.8 = netcarbs 3,15
        Florida type: 1 fruit: carbs 23,77 / fiber 17 = netcarbs 6,77

        I've taken this from the USDA Nutrient database. 1 fruit is app. 173 g (without skin and seed). If i'm correct the California type avocado is also know as Hass avocado and is the one with the dark skin. The Florida type is the green one with the smooth skin.

        oh... and the book says... no more than 1/2 an avocado a day.

        Hope this solves your 'problem'.

                haha...I love how you are "talking this out" with yourself. It's great, though, because it helps others...It was just funny for me to read the progressive messages.
