Did you pick one from a supermarket? Always search fruit and veg as 'tesco avocado' or 'sainsburys spinach' otherwise you're likely to get an American value and they add the fibre to their carb count so it's higher.
Seems a lot for an avo even so, maybe someone put the details in wrong. I usually try to look at a couple of options.

Think the avocados are about 1.9 or 2 for 100 grams. ML is right, prob a general listing without the fibre taken out.

No reason not to have three lamb chops if you were hungry 
But always a good idea not to skip lunch if you can help it.

Mmmm dinner looks gorgeous Stubbsey. I'm still not sure you're actually eating enough! The biggest 3 lamb chops I could find on mfp came to 600 cal - veggies would have been hardly anything, plus a couple of slices of oopsie and cheese - I am guessing you're not much over 1200 cals if you're that high at all? Unless you're having cream in drinks in between.
If its working for you, you're not starving hungry all day and just prefer to have a bigger dinner then there's no reason not to continue - you're not over-eating.
There are a couple of low carb schools of thought - one favors eating every few hours very regularly while awake to keep the metabolism going. The other favors eating a lot in a small period and fasting the rest of the time. Both work (as do other approaches), it's all down to what you feel comfortable with.
I know one girl on another forum who has lost 80+ pounds and she only eats lunch and dinner - and her dinners are usually 1000 calories+
So if it's what you're comfy with, don't worry about big dinners, but if you're hungry then eat lunch.
P.s. must ask did you do the chops in the actifry? Love the lovely browned outsides.

hi ML
no i cooked them in a pan with a little bit of oil, i put a tsp of mint sauce in there and tossed them around in it, kept turning them regularly and made sure the fat in them rendered down, some people cook their lamb lightly but it can have a sort of ammonia taste for me when its lightly done i like mine browned and sort of caramelised mmm i am hungry thinking about it.
i don't think my dinners come to 1000 cals so you are right there i am probably not over eating, i always think i am overdoing my veg for the carbs tho. as i went over according to mfp values on my carbs. don't have any milk or cream in my drinks at all i drink black tea, i gave up milk last time i did atkins and i can't stand it now in tea. i have just bought decaf tea to see if that makes any difference to my loss, tho it makes a difference to me, i have fallen asleep in the evenings 3 times now not up late and wired.
hope u all have a great sunday... ooo roastie time!!

It will be the green beans that put you over, they're a bit carby. Swap them for something like spinach and you won't have a problem with going over. I'm sure a few beans won't make much of a difference though. Looks like a delicious, healthy meal to me. I'm not even a big lamb fan and I thought it looked yum!

I am starving just looking at the picture!
And ML is right, ignore me - if you're not hungry at lunch then don't force it - but I'm the same, I might miss lunch and then I'm ravenous at dinner time.

FWIW, my pattern is to eat lightly but fairly frequently through the day and concentrate most of my calories into my main meal which could be any time from early afternoon to late evening (OH is self-employed and I have to fit meals around some very odd hours). I don't know if I'd lose faster doing it differently, but I'm certainly losing, so that's what I'm sticking with.
I think that as long as what you're doing doesn't cause you to over or under eat, or reach for the wrong foods, then you're fine - it'll all even out over time
Btw, that dinner looks delicious...and I don't even like lamb, lol!
