Banana is a widely consumed fruit, especially popular in tropical regions. The calories in a banana is 105.0. It is a good source of potassium and vitamin B6, also offering some dietary fiber. Bananas contain resistant starch, particularly when they are still slightly green, which can act like fiber. They are suitable for most people, but those with kidney issues should monitor their potassium intake. A medium-sized banana per day is generally a good guideline. Bananas can be a neutral addition to a weight management plan. Consider pairing it with a protein source for a more balanced snack. Eating bananas can quickly replenish energy.
