Avocado calories & nutrition facts

For avocado toast, tacos, or a sliced garnish, estimate the flesh you actually use. The skin and pit are not part of the edible portion, and one avocado can vary considerably in size.

Avocado nutrition facts by portion

Use reference fractions only when the fruit matches the listed size. Grams avoid assuming that all whole avocados or halves contain the same amount of flesh.

Values are scaled from the USDA figures per 100 g. Calories are rounded to a whole number; gram values to one decimal. A dash means the source does not provide that value. Portions are reference measurements, not serving recommendations.

At the kitchen counter

Measure the flesh, not the whole fruit.

A half avocado is convenient shorthand, but it is only half of the particular fruit in your kitchen. The listed fruit or cup portions use reference weights from the USDA record. For a closer match to your own portion, remove the skin and pit and weigh the flesh before entering grams.

If you mash avocado, the weight is more useful than guessing how tightly it fills a cup. Record the avocado separately from bread, tortillas, eggs, or other meal ingredients. Guacamole may include onion, tomato, lime juice, and other additions, so an avocado-only entry describes only one part of that recipe. Divide a prepared batch by the amount you actually serve.
