I am sorry to butt in here but I have to make a suggestion and correction.

Fats have 9 cals /gram not 7.

One easy way to find out how much of each fat is in a food is to use this very useful site:

http://nutritiondata.self.com/

here is a listing for raw Avocado:
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...-juices/1843/2

the fats are listed separately:

16%
Monounsaturated Fat

I use this site above to find inflammatory indexes, and also magnesium and potassium content of various foods.
Pay attention the to serving sizes....that is very important.
This site even has "processed" foods as well.
