    It's the worst fruit for me too much sugar but I like them otherwise

    @ericalillykristene welcome to MFP forums.

    I had to cut out bananas in the process of trying to manage my joint and muscle pain without having to start Enbrel injections. I like bananas but to by pass on starting to use Enbrel in my case losing the bananas was a no brainer due to my age and state of health two years ago. At age 65 longevity is more on my mind than making my taste buds happy. :)

    Best of success.

    I missed where OP stated she has a medical condition that would require her to give them up or why it would be her trainer to give her this advice.

    Outside of a medical issue, there is no reason that one can't eat bananas because of the sugar.

    Under the side effects heading are facts that people without medical conditions might would like to consider concerning eating bananas or not. Foods options are huge and are only limited by our goals and objectives for health and longevity.



    Draxe.com is hardly a reliable medical source.

    Sounds like your trainer read one of those "10 foods to avoid" buzzfeed articles.

    This threads become fairly hypocritical "do not take advice from a PT as they have no qualification" said the man giving advice on nutrition without any qualifications.

    That being said, you are best questioning him. Bananas are a great source of energy why he'd advise you not to eat them is beyond me.

    What effect would this have? I fail to see how eating before or after a workout makes any difference..

    Post workout you are far more insulin sensitive. Probably would make the most, nutritionally speaking of the carbs in the banana. I don't know how much of a difference this would make to the average person, but I am sure that's what was implied...

    It has been said that there was no medical reason for avoiding bananas and that explanation probably veers more toward that. I hope that is what was implied, with a couple separate threads dedicated to meal timings popping up today I just assumed it was another "eat after a workout your metabolism is better" response.
