Some Reasons To Love Avocados
There are countless reasons to love and enjoy this low carb fruit. But I’ll give you just a brief summary. First of all, it has a great nutritional profile.
A 100g serving of avocados contain 15g of fat, 2g of protein and 9g of carbs. Out of that 9g of carbohydrates, 7g are from fiber, bringing its net carb content to 2g per a 100g serving.
Another good point to note is that, majority of the fats found in them are healthy monounsaturated fats, which are considered part of the “good fats” you should be getting in your diet.

They are also rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and K, and potassium and folate, among others. Here are some solid health benefits associated with eating avocados.
- Due to their high fiber content, they help keep you fuller for longer, maintain a better digestive health and aid weight loss
