Just came across this. I usually measure everything, but it's interesting to see everything in order of how much you get for 200 cals!

    Very interesting but in my book, there's no way a whole avocado is only 200 cals!

    A small Haas avocado is 190-200 calories. That's why I always buy the small ones at the store.

    The ones I buy are small-ish (size of fist maybe) but the nutrition info says 200 cals for 1/2. :(
