Calories in a Banana
Filed under Bananas | Comments (3)
A lot of people avoid bananas because they think they're high in calories.
A medium banana has about 100 calories while a small one has about 80. This isn't much more than most fruits. For example, a medium apple has about 95 calories and a medium pear has about 100 calories.
Like other fruits (except avocados and olives) bananas contain no fat.
So if you're dieting and avoiding bananas, there's really no reason to. Just be aware that bananas are higher in sugar than other fruits and that like everything else, they should be enjoyed in moderation.

Who counts calories when eating fruit? That seems indicative of some weird self-hating discipline thing. Eat fruit and veggies. The benefits and pleasures far out 'weigh' the possibility that you will get fat. I didn't get fat eating fruit. And for the longest time diet regimen bullshit made hate fruit. Now I have discovered how amazing they are.
