Banana calories?

Has anyone else noticed that all the generic banana entries are way off for calories (like a small banana is 7,000)? I've logged them before with no problem so I'm confused!

    Are you logging by size or weight. You need to find an entry via weight for accuracy as small medium or large doesn't tell you anything. Even the entries by inch length don't take into account volume. A banana is around about 1Kcal per gram on average

    That's a bit odd... The generic banana in my diary is 105 calories.

    Sounds like Freelee's daily banana intake. Super ripe nanas too or she'll have yer bum.

    But yeah, sounds like a wrong entry. I've never eaten a banana more than 140 calories? I think. I weigh mine on a digital food scale and take the usda entry though. Have to be careful of people who put wrong entries in there or ones where if you try to select other measurements come out out to something ridiculous
