Carbs...
I try to keep my carbs under 125g per day. Almost all of these carbs are from fruits and vegetables, or whole grain flat bread. Is there any link between carbs consumed and weight loss?

Logging avocado
How does everyone do this, there seems to be different options! I've started weighing it in grams, but numbers seem quite low. (Eg I had 30g of avocado, but this only gave me 48 cals. Is this because the weight of an avocado assumes the stone? I don't use cups only food scales.
