Avocado is the rare fruit that is mostly fat: about three-quarters of its calories come from monounsaturated fat, and most of its carbohydrate is fibre. It is also one of the better potassium sources on keto, which matters when electrolytes drop in the first weeks.
How avocado fits a keto carb budget
On a 20 g day you could eat about 15.3 servings before reaching the limit — in practice avocado will never be what pushes you over.
Worked example. 75 g of avocado = 6.4 g total carbs − 5 g fibre = 1.3 g net carbs, 11 g fat, 1.5 g protein and 120 kcal.
