A banana is one of the most-searched foods on the planet, and the numbers are friendlier than its reputation suggests. A medium banana lands around 105 calories, almost all of it carbohydrate, with a useful hit of potassium and about 3 grams of fiber. The sugar is real, but it comes bundled with fiber that slows its release.

Frequently asked
Are bananas good for weight loss?
Bananas fit a weight-loss plan fine. A medium banana is about 105 calories, mostly carbohydrate with 3 g of fiber that helps with fullness. As with any food, the question is total daily calories, not the banana itself.
How many calories in a large banana?
A large banana (about 136 g) has roughly 121 calories. An extra-large one (152 g) is closer to 135. Size varies a lot, so weighing is the only way to be exact.
How much sugar is in a banana?
A medium banana has about 14 g of sugar, all naturally occurring. Because it arrives with fiber, it raises blood sugar more gently than the same sugar from juice or candy.
