Banana help

whierd

I bought a banana at a gas station this morning because I got a cramp in my calf last night. My problem is I did not bring my food scale with me. How do I accurately log the calories from it?

It is as long as the distance from my thumb to my pinky when I stretch my hand out.

im sure everyone has a different hand size than you but i would safely log it as a huge long banana 110 calories.

Um, the banana wasn't part of a cookie recipe, therefore invalid.

Here is a pic of the banana husk after the fact. Sorry about the size of the picture. I could not resize it.

No women around on this construction site. Plus I ate it already.

I don't care. I will never believe you bought a banana at a gas station. :noway:

I imagine your banana....

would be about 105 calories.


And very filling.

Serious answer: if you're not sure, better to overestimate than underestimate. Go with "large" in the database.

Listen to the women as far as the calories. The guys will genetically guesstimate the size of the banana to be much much larger than it is (like they do when catching fish, and describing other things) and therefore suggest a higher calorie count.

You'll go blind if you keep buying bananas.

I already posted a pic of my banana as proof.

Very true! Judging by your picture, I would go with 'large banana'.

Also: semi-serious answer... You can log bananas by the inch

*immature giggle*

Confuzzled4ever

size doesn't' matter.. it's how well you use it...

just search bananas raw and pick large or extra large..

That's the most often claimed banana size anyway right?

Do I need to get a pic of the fruit stand inside of the gas station too?

Just make sure to not use your debit card. You should always protect yourself when taking a banana in or out of a gas station

What part of "never" do you not understand?

I mean, pictures can be doctored and you could just put a fake fruit stand in there or something.

I did that ONE time. Sheesh.

If you can fit more of it in your mouth than you imagine you could without triggering your gag reflex then it might be a large banana and about 150 calories...and give me a call.
