Banana's, Good or Bad?

Machka9

I love bananas ... I eat 1-2 each day.

They're really good on toast with nutella and honey. YUM!!

I love a banana as a preworkout snack,1.5-2hrs before both strength & cardio sessions. Otherwise I don't normally touch them.

An average Banana contains around 150 cal and about 30g of sugar (which is the same that's in an average sized mars bar) It doubles the sugar and cal that you find in most other fruits portions.

I eat three bananas every day, and oh, by the way, you die without sugar.
Were you aware of this? Yes, too much is bad just like too much sun is bad, but try living without the sun...

You die without sugar? Really? Really?!

Got any claims to back that up?

Well, you would, but conveniently your body doesn't need sugar to make sugar, so that's not the same thing as saying you die if you stop ingesting sugar.

Not that I think a diet devoid of all sugar is likely to be healthful, as that would mean no vegetables, among many other foods, but because it is so important your body can make do without it.

Banana is very good for you, I don't eat it when I'm trying to lose weight but if your meal plan have room for a banana then eat it post workout, the body will use the sugar and carbs to replace the glycogen used during the workout and it won't be stored as fat.

In an energy deficit no food will be stored as fat. No need to restrict banana intake or try to time bananas for post workout only. Do it if you like but it is not necessary...

Bananas good. Bananas dipped in chocolate better.
