What Do 160 Calories or 100 Grams of Avocado Look Like?

Our team measured how much 100 grams or 160 calories of avocado looks like. The picture below shows that one and a half pieces of avocado comprise 100 grams or 160 calories. That means one whole avocado is about 145 grams or around 232 calories

One serving size of an avocado is about 150 grams or one cup, so it contains 240 calories.

Remember that the calorie count can change based on the weight and size of the avocado.
