did you weigh the banana you ate? if not, no idea how many calories they are0 -

I would highly highly highly recommend getting a food scale. I resisted for a long time but finally broke down and bought one last year and thats when I finally started losing consistently. everyone's idea of small banana, medium banana, giant banana are different (giggity) so you can't trust them! Once you've weighed a few you'll start to be able to eyeball them a little better (for example I know that the bananas I have right now are around 110 grams just from seeing them but only because I've weighed a bunch of bananas! -giggity again)
There are so many discrepancies in weight vs cup or tablespoon (this was most depressing when I realized I could not actually have 4 tablespoons of ovaltine and still keep it within cals at the end of the day... *kitten*!)0 -
Well surely it's not THAT small.0

its not the size that matters... just so long as its not all brown and mushy. no one likes a mushy brown banana...0 -
Har-har your banana is small!0

Eh Ive seen smaller.0

Looks like half a regular banana. Seems like that would be a safe logging method.
There might be something freudian about 8 mini bananas in a day though. You might want to check out a real banana.0 -
There are actual definitions of what a small banana is. You will need some sort of ruler/measuring tape though.
I suggest a food scale. That 's the only way to know for sure.
I buy a bunch of bananas, peel them, weigh them, mark the weight on masking tape, and put them in the freezer. I will take them out and use them in smoothies or baked goods.0 -

:laugh:
OP, peel those suckas and weigh them.0 -
I'm sorry. I am no help to you because I cannot stop giggling.0

It's not the size of the banana, it's the feel in the peel.
Or, uh, something like that.
OP, weigh the banana and look for a database entry that has bananas by weight instead of by size.
I can't stop wondering, what was the eighth dwarf's name? Oh man, I'm sorry OP.0 -
