How many carbs?

[cindy8434]

Ok, in the induction period is says its ok to eat half a small avocado, so I wanted to do some research to see how many carbs I need to count when I eat that half avocado, I came up with so many different answers online, its silly. Therefore I am asking the experts, you guys! I wont eat it everyday but like this morning I have a quarter of a small avocado for breakfast with two fried eggs. So how many carbs do I had to count in for that piece of heaven? LOL

thanks everyone, you guys are awesome!

I use the USDA's website, because I find it a little bit more accurate (you can use the weight of the food to find the carb count)

Re: How many carbs?

per Dr. Atkins carb counter book...

Avocado:

1/2 of a Hass = 1.7 net carbs (6.0 carbs - 4.2 fiber = 1.7 net carbs)
1/2 of a Florida = 5.5 net carbs (13.5 carbs - 8.1 fiber = 5.5 net carbs)

Enjoy!!!!!!!
