What changes the number
Bananas get cut from Indian weight-loss diets more often than almost any other fruit, usually for no good reason. A medium banana is about 90 kcal with 2.6 g of fibre and a useful amount of potassium — a better afternoon option than most things it competes with. The sugar is packaged with fibre, which is the difference between fruit and juice. It is worth eating before rather than after exercise, and if you are on a GLP-1 with a small appetite, it is calorie-dense enough to be genuinely useful.
