    Bananas are healthy. Eat them
    Agreed!! And I don't know anyone who has ever gained one pound from overeating fruit. You may not lose any weight but you will not gain any so now you know and you will be fine!!

    Keep up the good work!

    How could you unknowingly eat 7 bananas?

    7 of anything is a bad idea. Next time if you are super hungry, reach for protein. 2 Tbsp of peanut butter on that first banana would have probably helped you skip the next few bananas. That being said, just move on. Next time log your calories as you eat them and you wont get such a punch to the gut.

    This!

    Also, don't beat yourself up over it. I love bananas and believe they are the most powerful tool in my kit for keeping my sugar cravings down. I usually have one each day, maybe two (never 7 as far as I know :wink: ) so for a calorie splurge you could have done much, much worse.

    That may be true , but it probably has twice the sugar of a greenish one , as the fructose has developed.

    Blech!! They're way too sweet once they are this ripe. I love bananas but only right after they turn yellow (no brown spots).

    theres actually something called 30 bananas a day, look it up! raw foodies and people that follow 80/10/10 frequently eat that many bananas per day and they don't gain! look it up!

    I personally can't even finish a whole, large banana in one sitting. They're just too much.

    Most fruits have more calories than you'd think. A large apple can have over a hundred. But give me a banana over a 100 calorie snack pack any day. Your mistake wasn't eating a banana. It was going ape *kitten* and eating a whole bunch. That said, I have to echo the sentiment of "it's only one day." You won't fail because of one day.

    Personally, I eat banana on almost any work out day, usually blended up with peanut butter, a little chocolate and greek yogurt.

    Hey, whatever. It's one day. And besides, depending on how your goals are set, you probably still ate at a deficit for the day. If you didn't, tomorrow's a new day. Don't beat yourself up. Feel good that you chose bananas, because they are still good for you. Feel good that you learned something new. Feel good that you aren't hungry anymore.

    Every day is new. You haven't screwed anything up.

    Oh, and there is an entry in the database where you can count bananas by the inch, which is helpful because they are a little more calorie-dense than some fruits and they vary in size quite a bit. When I freeze bananas for making smoothies, I break them into roughly one-inch pieces so I know how much to log.

    Edited to add:
    If you want to, you can search USDA - Banana (1 Inch)

    Unknowingly? Weird. I don't put anything in my mouth without looking up the calories in it first - make sure you do that.
