In my area, avocados sold in bags of 5 or 6 tend to be small, so one whole fruit is a perfect serving. Never any waste

This is generally my method! Sometimes I will eat half and just put the other half in a baggie and eat it later. I just love those little Haas avocados and just try to select smaller ones

This is correct, according to Fitday. Again, as mentioned, they vary in size and it's not a bad idea to buy a digital scale and weigh. I got one for $10. I'm not far from Doreen and my avocados average only 80 g (less than 3 oz) of edible flesh.

I'm on an avo bender these days, eating half one per day for a few weeks. I just put half with pit in it in tight ziploc. There is only very mild discoloration by next day, which doesn't bother me at all.

I really am worried about what the avocado tax is going to mean for my current most favorite lunch!

subtract "Fiber, total dietary" from "Carbohydrate, by difference" at least that's what I do. So, edible flesh average about 2g NC per 100g. Too bad they don't agree with my stomach. Looks like they are a good source of fuel.
