Addition to the Omega 6 Calculator: Avocado!
As it seems that avocado is quite popular in the keto scene, I added the fruit / veggie into my Omega 6 calculator here:
Percentagewise, it is not that bad: 12,5% for the oil and 10,8% for the flesh, though those values should be the same. Maybe something happens during the processing. Different variations may have varying fatty acid compositions, so if you eat some from other countries, maybe look up studies about thoise specifically.
These are the macros, as shown by cronometer: 77% fat, 19% carbs, 4% protein.
I do not recommend eating avocados for the reason that it has lots of carbs. According to tue usda data, it's 8,6 grams of carbs per 100 grams. You can eat a different plant food that has 1/3 of that carb count, thus being able to eat 3 times as much.
On the other hand, if you are struggling with weight and want a rather calorie dense veggie, yes maybe you can have an avocado.
I also don't recommend it because it has Omega 6s, as all plant fats do. It is still very very low compared to everything else, 10,8-12,5% - but 200 grams will still give you an additional 3,3 grams of Omega 6. Especially for women with cancer (I would set the limit to 6-7 grams a day) this is a huge chunk already... and sometimes people like to eat avocado with eggs!
In this very case, moderation is the key: 100 grams max a day, split up into 2 meals, okay. And if you wanna add eggs add some fishoil too! .-)
