So I was looking at eating a banana with a little peanut butter before hitting the gym tonight and I noticed that there are lots of Banana medium size listed. What I'm unsure of is they have different calorie amounts. How should I pick which one would be the correct calorie amount for what I'm eating?

    I usually pick the one with the most confirmations and if I dont feel it looks right I search it on the internet to doublecheck.

    If you really think about it, all bananas vary from size and you'll never get an exact number. I normally shoot for the 7-8" entry for a medium banana (which appears to be on the average of 105 calories).

    I buy only organic bananas and they are easy to find in there by brand name organic or not.

    It depends on the size of the banana. The longer the more calories. Here is a website that is helpful with calories by length. http://www.caloriesinabanana.net/ The range extra small at less than 6 " is 72 calories and extra long more than 9 " is 135 calories.
