Bananas?

morningpeasant

I am currently looking to loose about five pounds, give or take. I usually eat two, sometimes one, 100g bananas in a day.
Too much?

it depends.. if you only had two bananas and no other food you would be under eating. if you already take in the correct number of calories then an extra 200 calories would hinder weight loss. what do you weight and what is your current daily diet and exercise / physical activity? bananas are not bad but like most other foods they have a place in an OVERALL good diet...

Bananas are about 22% sugar, while apples or oranges are about 11%, so they would have roughly twice the calories per 100g. So other fruit might take you twice as long to eat, and fill your stomach twice as much so in that sense it might be a better choice. Melon & strawberries would be less than apples & oranges.

In the WW threads you will hear people saying malteasers, aeros, curly wurlys "only have X points", but these bars are about the same calories/points as any other bar per 100g, it is the fact they are lower portions yet seem about the same physical size to people. They are in effect fooling themselves, which many people find works for them, you rarely hear them recommending snack size snickers etc which would be the same weight and much cheaper. If you liquidised all your food and diluted it down with water it would be hard to eat it all. e.g. if you had to drink 30 pints of diluted food to get 2000kcal you might find it hard to overeat.
