*Anything* can make you gain weight. Saying "X can make you gain weight" isn't really saying anything.
Pros: Bananas are a good source of potassium, manganese, and magnesium (and many people are deficient in these). They're naturally packaged and easily transportable.
Cons: They turn black really fast and also raise your blood sugar.
Eat them. There's good stuff in them. But eat in moderation knowing their potential to spike your blood sugar.0 -
Pros: They are delicious and I can't go a day without one... or two.
Cons: None as they are delicious.0 -
Like everything else, if you don't eat too many, you're good to go I eat at least one per day, loove them!0

I can almost 100% guarantee you that all of the obese people in the world did not get that way from eating too many bananas.

Bananas are great. Curried bananas, ginger bananas, chocolate dipped bananas, wonderful. I eat them almost every day and lose weight steadily. Sure you can gain weight eating ANYTHING, even rice cakes, which aren't even food but styrofoam.
curried/ginger bananas?? YUMMM! recipe?
don't you dare cut out bananas, that would be rude, and you'd miss out on a delicious fruit full of good for you carbs and potassium. stick to 2-4 servings of fruit a day instead.... but if it comes down to it, between a candy bar binge and a banana binge? I'm gonna have to side with my lovely innocent banana friend, noms.
Curried or ginger bananas; Choose a ripe banana, peel it, cut it into one inch slices, and saute in a pan with a tablespoon or two of light butter or Smart Balance ( depending on size of banana) with a couple of tablespoons of curry powder, I prefer Jamaican curry to Madras, which can be a little too hot, heat through, sprinkle with coarse ground black pepper (don't leave this out), dive in. Ginger version, use ground ginger to taste, a tablespoon or so, with maybe a handful of crystallized ginger baking chips ( from The Ginger People). I made these for a houseful of people in Ocho Rios and they were a hit.0 -
Interesting all of these comments because I only eat two pieces of fruit each day and seem to ALWAYS go over my sugar levels! I was honestly curious about the banana too.... do you all count the fruit-sugar in your sugar totals??0

I don't pay any attention to sugar, just overall calorie count.0

one of natures perfect foods...the Potassium to sodium balance is perfect at 4 to 1..and bananas just like any other of natures foods should be consumed in abundance!0

Eat bananas. They're good for you and they're delicious. What's good enough for Monkey, is awesomeness for me!

As a vegetarian, I also include a lot of fruit into my diet. I am not diabetic so sugar is less important to me than overall calories. Since I'm a little older, and don't eat a lot of dairy, I think it is more important to keep an eye on my calcium intake. I changed the sugar to calcium using settings.
Oh and bananas are good.0 -

Plus I'm about to eat a bunch of them because I bought a ton at the store yesterday so I guess I'll have banana thighs.... damn it lol0 -
I avoid nuts. Too many calories and fat for so little pleasure. Just my opinion of course.
How do you live!? I eat like 3 serves of nuts a day.... 0.00 -
I love bananas. They fit into my macros, and I love them with peanut butter.
Bananas don't love me. They cause me to not poop.
Some days, the banana wins, some days, the bowels win.
I've actually heard this quite a lot too... how would you counteract that?? More fiber?? Peanuts and such?0 -
I eat a banana every day with breakfast.. i dont think i've gained weight..0
