    I was surprised too ... one medium banana is like 100+ calories. But, they are good sources of potassium, something I need lots of.

    Yes and no.

    Excess calories is what make you fat. So eat enough bananas and you will get fat. But it's not just belly fat; it's also fat on your arms, legs, back, neck, face, etc, etc.

    No food can make you accumulate fat in just one particular area of your body.

    Gotta agree. It's not so much the type of food as it is too much of it.
