Why? If you've already hit your macros for the day, a banana can be more calories than a square or two of chocolate, which would put you over your deficit.
@ arditarose....sorry this has nothing to do with my comment, just comparing which would be better out of the 3
It has everything to do with your comment. I'm asking you why the banana would be better?
Why do you care so much? Are we not allowed to share on here? Move on.
And, I do care. I actually want to know why it's the better choice. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Probably because it is more nutrient dense than a couple squares of chocolate? ?
I guess. But it's a generalization. Especially since the OP said that bananas do not fill her up. I eat dark chocolate and it helps me hit my fat macros.
If the OP ate a banana, some chocolate, eggs, chicken, rice, vegetables in here day is it then bad because chocolate??? Pleeeeeaaase..
these ridiculous statements about one food being better than another are just getting tiresome…
what matters is the overall diet...0 -
OP the answer is that it is neither good or bad ..it is just food..do with it as you choose...0

agreed…
if we just ate food in a vacuum then maybe saying one is better than the other might make sense….0 -

I'm not sure why, but the thought "I wonder if there is a vacuum-sealed food only diet people do to make sure all food is kept at its freshest and highest nutrient density" came to mind reading this post. Then I was sad, because there probably is
The other thought was "I don't think I can fit in my Dyson..."
I'm pretty much anti-banana because the smell of them when they're over-ripe makes me want to gag, but I agree with previous posters; if you want one, and it fits your cals/macros/yellow-food-only-diet, then sure. If not, then don't. Just be aware of grazing afterwards if you think you're more hungry after you eat one.0 -

Yes! If people would get rid of their prejudices about a brown banana (which is really the ripened form) and would just eat them, they would be delighted. Green bananas aren't very good at all.0 -
I hate brown bananas0

But, but the greener ones taste better

Why would you eat something you don't really like. Personally, I love a nice banana!0

When I was young, my Mom wrapped bacon around bananas and fried them...warm mushy bananas...not good.0

I'm sure there are worse threads than ones about bananas that have gone for longer than 3 pages.0 -
I eat a banana almost every single morning and have had no issues losing weight unless I was eating over my deficit. Which has nothing to do with the banana in particular.0

Bananas are neither good nor bad. It comes down to personal preference.
Banana hammocks, on the other hand? Always bad. I hope we can all agree on that much.0 -
