avocado question

[kallard]

I'm confused about how to count avocados. The bag that I bought said that 1/5 of an avocado is 3g carb and 3g fiber. Another counter book I have listed them as like 30g and 12g fiber!!

I know they are on the list of stuff that we can have.....why are the listings so different? :confused

There are two types of Avacados, one with smooth skin, and one (the one you should use) with wrinkly dark skin, which do you have?

avocados

I'm guessing the one with dark wrinkly, or rough skin. I don't know if I have seen the other kind. ??

I do sometimes have a funny reaction to avocado....like an allergic reaction. My mouth sometimes feels funny after I eat it.

Hi!

There are two types of Avocados. The Florida Avocados are much higher in carbs than California Avocados (also know as Hass Avocados). The Florida ones are a brighter green and they are smooth. The CA ones are bumpy. The carb count on half of a CA avocado are about 5 net carbs. I love them and usually eat them for breakfast. Make sure they don't cause you to stall, sometimes they are compatible with everyone's body. Hope I helped!

This is mostly correct, except the carb count.

The carb count (once you subtract fibre) for a Haas Avacado is about 2 grams net carbs per half.

You are right! I meant the total carb count was 5 grams... I THINK! LOL! All these net carbs and carb counts screw me up! Thanks for the correction!
