A portion is about 160 kcal, with 2 g of protein, 9 g of carbs and 15 g of fat. The fat is from the avocado, the plant kind.
The guac itself isn't the big number. The tortilla chips you scoop it up with usually are.
Tips
Where it comes from
Guacamole was already part of Aztec cooking when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. The name comes from the Nahuatl word ahuacamolli, avocado sauce. People in Mexico have been eating avocados for around 9,000 years, and the first recipe in English was written down by the privateer William Dampier in 1697.
