Default Question about "Digestible" carbs (avocado specifically)...

Ok - so I haven't really had a chance to read the ENTIRE book yet (I'm only on chapter 7).

My question is - in the back, the carb counter - An avocado 14.9 "total carbs" but only 4.8 "Digestible carbs" for 1 whole avocado.

I am making an avacado/tuna salad today for lunch and I'm using 1/2 of an avocado - so do I only count 2.4 carbs? or do I count 7.5 carbs?...

thanks!!!

also - what IS the difference?
