I am with you... loving nanners!!! It's better than grabbing just TWO chocolat chip cookies ANY DAY (and lower in calories, higher in nutrition). GO NANNERS!!

I eat one just about everyday, usually on the way to the gym pre-workout.

For my morning snack I dip bananas in dry chocolate protein powder. I have one almost everyday.

interseting........:huh: might have to try this though!

Eat. I buy my bananas pre-peeled. They cost more but I don't have time to stand around peeling bananas all day.

Bananas are high in potassium. We need this, specially after a long run or hard work out. So why are there so many people saying not to eat bananas if you want to lose weight? What is so bad with the O so delicious Banana?

Because the people saying it have bought into the the "no sugar" idea to lose weight. Law of thermodynamics will always win..................calories in vs calories out.

Also to mention, I tried the trick of separating the bananas and then wrapping the stems in plastic to deter the bananas' ripening process....................................and it works!!!!! They still speckle, but the banana inside it still pretty firm.

Bananas are awesome. No food makes me feel as good for so little calories.

my dietitian told me to eat half of a banana after my workout vs a whole one

She eats A LOT of bananas and I don't think she is overweight.

Bahaha! When I clicked on the page, the "5 foods not to eat if you want to lose weight" add popped up on the top with a banana!!!

But I love bananas!!! Nom Nom Nom!
I know they are REALLY high in sugar, which, natural or not, can still be bad when not monitored. I think it should be looked at as a sweet food, not something to eat 10 of because they are a fruit...

I hate that ad. Love bananas.

Really? I must try that, I love bananas until they start going brown and soft.

I eat a banana every day with lunch!

It would take 5 apples to fill me up like one banana does, when I need a quick snack before lunch or I'm on the run... I grab a banana.

Bananas are good, I eat one a day everyday in a shake either pre or post workout :-)
