Avocado Nutrition

Avocados are a popular and nutrient-rich fruit. A standard serving of 100 grams, which is about half a medium avocado, contains approximately 160 calories. Unlike most fruits that are high in carbohydrates, avocados are unique for their high content of healthy fats, which is the primary source of their calories. This makes them a calorie-dense food, providing substantial energy and nutrients in a small portion.

Healthy Fats

The fats in avocados are predominantly monounsaturated, particularly oleic acid, the same type of fatty acid found in olive oil. These healthy fats are very important for overall health and have been linked to positive effects on the body. They also support heart health by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Including sources of monounsaturated fats in your diet is a good way to support cardiovascular wellness.

Fiber Content

Avocados are an excellent source of dietary fiber. A 100-gram serving provides about 6.7 grams of fiber, which is nearly a quarter of the recommended daily intake. Fiber is crucial for digestive health, promoting regular bowel movements and feeding the friendly bacteria in your gut. This high fiber content also helps with satiety, making you feel fuller for longer which can be useful for managing your calorie intake.
