Calories in Banana
How ripeness changes a banana's calories and sugar
What makes banana so powerful?
A medium banana weighs about 118 g without the peel, so it lands near 105 calories, almost all from carbohydrate. The number barely moves as the fruit ripens, but the type of carbohydrate does: green bananas hold more resistant starch, while spotted ones have converted most of it to sugar and taste sweeter. That is why a firm banana digests more slowly and a very ripe one is better right before a workout. Peeled weight is what the calorie figures use, so weigh the fruit without the skin when you track it.
Eat a firmer banana for steadier energy, a spotted one before exercise or blended into baking. Freeze overripe bananas peeled and sliced for smoothies instead of throwing them away.
