does banana make us fat ??

Bananas do not add fat but are very high in sugar content. therefore when u eat bananas in the night the sugar is not used up by ur body and is converted to fat. If eaten during the day, the sugar is burnt as calories for ur daily activities. so its always advisable to eat bananas during the day. For diabetics, bananas are an absolute NO due to their sugar content.

I think that if you will eat bananas you will never have an extra weight visible...because fruit contains minerals and vitamins thet help our body to 'burn' calories;) About cancer..what can i say..hmm I heard that just 'thing' black from the front of banana is provoking cancer LoL. So, eat bananas (or other fruit) secure;)

The person who responded before me is basically right. Bananas have a higher sugar and starch content than most other natural fruits. So, they should be eaten in moderation. They have about 100 calories which is about 30 to 40% more calories than oranges, pears, and apples. Whenever I eat bananas, I count them as two servings of fruit. I believe the weight watchers program does the same thing. If you have the kind of metabolism that I do that is sensitive to sugar, it might be wise to limit yourself.

NO banana is very good for enarge it's not fat us bey

Hi,Bananas are low in calories, as they contain only 100 calories. They are half the calories of most granola bars, and have one-third the calories of most muffins or bagels. Bananas are not high in sugar and have the same glycemic index as most all fruits. Scientific research reports no evidence that they will spike your blood sugars or increase fat stores. They are extremely low in fat, containing less than 1 gram of fat. They are loaded with fibre making you will feel full and satisfied after eating them. One banana also adds 2 grams of soluble fibre, which helps to lower blood cholesterol. Bananas are nutrient-rich. They contain vitamin B6, folate, and vitamin C and are potassium powerhouses. Due to all their potassium, bananas help lower high blood pressure and replace potassium loses after exercise. Potassium is necessary for proper muscle function in active individuals and athletes. And another bonus, bananas are an easily digested source of energy. Athletes frequently peel a banana before a race for quick energy. In addition, bananas are high in magnesium, a mineral that helps bones absorb calcium. Bananas are extremely portable, as you do not have to have a knife to eat them, or have to cut them up and put them in a container. They can be eaten on their own, or can be added to smoothies, quick breads, cereals and even a curry. Eat Bananas but watch the Extras The review of the Provincial Nutrition Survey recently identified inadequate intakes of folate, vitamins B6, B12, and well as minerals iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. We now know that most of us are “overfed and undernourished”. We are eating too much of packaged foods that is overly processed and low on the nutrient scale. We need to focus on nutrient-dense foods such as bananas that provide calories but also fibre, vitamins and minerals. A healthy and well-balanced diet can provide the appropriate calories and nutrients needed to maintain a healthy weight or to lose weight. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits will also reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Since banana's are a good source of energy like anything else that gives energy if you don't use up this energy it will be stored as fat.

I believe banana could put on weight if take lots of it daily as it contains sugar and starch. This compound of carbohydrates could provide much energy and building up our body as well. I believe banana doesn’t contain much fat but with much nutrients and vitamin. Most of us like to take banana as we could peel its skin easily without using any knife.

Yes you are right banana can build extra fat.But dont afraid, you may eat banana as a food supliment after each meal you take.Eat two bananas every day and keep healthy.

the calories you got in one banana is equal to the calories of one cup of rice

Bananas do not contain fat but if you would eat a huge amount of them they might make you gain weight. they contain all sorts of goodies that we need inorder to be healthy. I eat a banana a day just to keep from having leg cramps at night as bananas contain needed potassium which is good for you too.No fruit ever contains fat.

yep that's for sure. That's the only fruit that you must avoid,or at least not exagerate!! I counsel you to talk with your doctor because of what you should and shouldn' eat,if you have any fat problem...if you don't have, there is no need to preocupy yourself..

i think it is not real that you heard. the banana is full of vitamins, minerals, calcial & iron. it has also some fat but it not work like other fatty foods. so you can eat banana. it is good for health.

All fruit never contain fat at all. They contain vitamins and minerals. Especially bananas. Bananas contain potassium. I also enjoy oranges, pineapples, and peaches. Yeah bananas are also awesome.

just make sure you don't eat the banana after your dinner at night, ok sweetie ? They say if you have a sworn enemy, then you offer him a banana after dinner :) Same with rice or any other starchy foods. They just won't digest and will turn into straight belly fat. But if you eat them in the morning (with cereal etc..) or afternoon especially before or after workout (like a snack), the same banana will turn into a real blessing to your health.This is because of the minerals in it like pottasium etc.. and it's toning effect on the muscles. Same reason why it's also helpful in controlling muscle craps as someone above has aptly pointed out. And remember to eat organice bananas for max benefit and make sure you select them as green as you can possibly eat without creating any facial contoortions :) (Green ones have most nutrients and minearals and the least excess sugar plus lots more iron than those senile yellow ones :). You are such a sweetie, now take care.
