How many calories are in one avocado?

I looked it up and it's apparently 232 for an average sized avocado. I thought this seemed a little bit high.

Is it actually this or am I mistaken?

    That is a good number, my source said 234 calories for 1 cup (that would be an average sized avocado). And Total Fat was listed as 21 grams.

    That sounds about right. Avocados are very calorie-dense due to the high fat content. That said, the fat in avocados is not bad for you. It's mostly monounsaturated fat. Hope this helps.

  • Most likely true since avocado are high in calories and fat but avocado has a lot of vitamin

  • Avocado has about 160 kcal per 100 grams. A typical fruit weighs around 200 grams, so your ~230 kcal is either an underestimate or a rather small fruit. But basically yes, avocado has a lot of fat, therefore a lot of calories.

    That may be about right, avocado contains quite a bit of fat (though it's good fat).
