A medium avocado (about 150 g) provides roughly 240 calories, 22 g of fat (mostly unsaturated), and 10 g of fiber, per USDA FoodData Central. Avocado is nutrient-rich but calorie-dense, so portion awareness matters — a third to half an avocado is a typical serving. Its healthy fats and fiber make it satisfying; use it to replace less healthy fats rather than add on top.
Key facts:
It’s calorie-dense, but the fat is mostly heart-healthy; fit it into your total.
½ to 1 small avocado is a reasonable amount for most people.
