Avocado, answered
Avocado has about 2 g of protein in 1/2 avocado, and about 4 g in 1 whole avocado.
About 160 calories in 1/2 avocado, or about 320 in 1 whole avocado.
Not really. Avocado is low in protein: 1/2 avocado has about 2 g, with only about 5% of the calories from protein. Treat it as fuel around training and pair it with a real protein source.
Not quite. Only about 5% of the calories in avocado come from protein, short of the roughly 40% bar that counts as a high-protein food, so treat avocado as a contributor rather than a main protein source.
