I mash avocados, add very finely chopped onion to taste, alot of finely

crushed garlic, some lemon juice (mandatory or it will darken), and

sometimes I add some finely diced tomato ( drained), and I either add some

finely diced peppers (hot or sweet depending on your tastes - I like hot).

I have at times used a small can of diced green chilies - excellent. If

there's anything else I put in there, I sure can't think of it! I sometimes

like lime juice instead of lemon juice in it. Those great big avocados are

alittle different than the little wrinkly ones. One is from California, and

one is from Florida or something like that.

Atkins has one in DANDR (page 371):

Guacamole

1 ripe avocado cubed

2 medium tomatoes cubed

1 medium onion cubed

2-3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon fresh lemon

Chop all ingredients together, Chill and serve. Makes 4 servings.

Total carbs 34.8. Grams per serving 8.7.

When I make guacamole I just mash the avocado up and put in a little onion

and tomatoe if I have it. I often mix in a little sour cream and/or mayo to

make it goopier (if using as a dip) and I love to add hot pepper flakes for

zip.

1 cup of avocado cubes has 11.085 carbs (according to USDA database).

Avocadoes aren't a really low carb veggie (like brocolli or cauliflower),

but you can certainly work them in occasionally depending on your daily carb

limit. They are very satisfying because they have a high fat content.

It's important to remember that you will see lots of different foods posted

that people are eating and they may or may not fit well into your own eating

plan. Some folks are on induction with less than 20 carbs a day and others

are OWL (on-going weight loss) at 30, 40, 50+ carbs per day. And then there

are those on maintenance showing us how tricky it can be to keep the

balancing act going.
