Avocado carb count

[ff11]

Hi all...
I have found different carb counts for 1/2 an avocado in places WITHIN the book, and then on fit day something else! I was counting a half an avocado as 2 carbs ...the carb counter in the DANDR says that. .But then it also is listed under the "5 counts" for adding in with OWL. Fit day says something else (can't remember, think it's closer to the 2 )
Anyone know?

USDA is accurate: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

FitDay uses the USDA database for most foods, so the numbers should be the same.

it also is listed under the "5 counts" for adding in with OWL

That list is a bit messed up. Veggies, nuts and berries, in the amounts listed there, do not have 5 net carbs. The quantities are rather close to 5 total carbs.
