Can anybody help with finding out why some avocado comes up as carb free? And they all seem to have a different amount of calories etc

    Avocados are very low in carbs, but I don't think they are carb-free. If you're searching for avocados in the MFP database, I would choose the one MFP input themselves as opposed to any that other MFP users may have entered. I hope that helps!

    Most likely, it's because everyone can add their own information, and it tends to vary. There's also a possibility of typos and such. I would check the standard USDA list (Google it!), and then use that information.

    How do I know which one Mfp put in? I'm sure I'm missing something here as I'm new to this so I have to add food to look up the calories and then delete them if I dont eat them lol
