calories in avocados?

hi. i just made homemade guacomole with 2 avocados, 1.2 cup of nonfat plain greek yogurt, and about a quarter cup of diced onion and tomato.

ive been looking online for avocado calories but they all seem so high! and my avocados were like really small. smaller than i thought they would be. they were like no more than 4 inches long and 2.5" wide.

so does anyone know how many calories avocadoes about that size would be?? thx =D

i jsut went to a nutritionist actually and she said 1/4 of an avocado is about 70 cals. and that most are the same size.

ok thanks.so about 280 =) i guess whenever i c them on a cooking show they look bigger than what they really are. lol 

remember there's 2 kinds of avocados. hass are the wrinkly black-ish ones, and they're usually around the same size. then there's the other kind that's smoother and green, and those can be pretty huge. i forget the name of that kind. maybe those are the ones you saw on the cooking show?

I had a avocado sandwich/dinner this evening, it was yummy :o)

I have recently figured out the easy weigh to weigh the avocado is to weigh it before you peel it, then after I have gotten all the fruit out of it I weigh the "carcass" - the peel and the pit and subtract.  It was such a duh! moment when I realized how easy that is, and maybe everyone else already knows this, but  I couldn't help myself, I had to add that.

Rather than use the calories for one piece I like to use the oz. and weigh the fruit.  I found that 1 cup of pureed avocado is 384 calories.  That is 8.1 oz.

You can also enter all of the incredients you used in the calculator tool on this website for your recipes.  It can give you a per serving calorie count.

Avocados are very high in calories.  That is why I changed from guacamole to fresh salsa when I want a snack with a Mexican flavor.

i just have problems reaching my maintenance calorie level, so i like to eat foods like pb, almonds, and now, i guess avocadoes, so i can reach that level. cuz  im currently in metabolism recovery. i have been for about 3.5wks. =)

Avocados can definitely vary in size. Check this out:

If one ounce is about 50 calories, you are looking at a range of 150 to 425 calorie per avocado. Weigh is the way!
