Coach's take: is Avocado healthy?

  • ●Avocado is moderately calorie-dense at 160 kcal per 100 g. About 19% of its calories come from carbs, 5% from protein and 76% from fat.
  • ●It can fit a fat-loss diet in a measured portion. Pair it with a protein source and vegetables so the meal keeps you full.
  • ●It's low in protein (2 g in 1/2 fruit (100 g)), so if you're building muscle, pair it with dal, paneer, curd, eggs or chicken.
  • ●It's high in fibre (6.7 g per 100 g), which helps digestion, fullness and steadier blood sugar.

To burn it off: 1/2 fruit (100 g) (160 kcal) takes about 32 min of brisk walking or 15 min of running for a 70 kg adult.
