    We usually hesitate to eat bananas regularly as we believe that banana leads to weight gain but this is truly has been a myth. Bananas do not contain any fat, cholesterol or sodium rather they are rich in fibre and help in controlling the hunger, so for those who are trying to lose weight should add bananas in their diet. Besides, there are apporx 108 calories and 17.5 grams of carbohydrates in the average banana and generally the calories in it are combined carbohydrates, simple sugars and starch. Only 19grams of sugar is contained per banana and 1 gram of protein also. Bananas are popularly used as a pre-gym snack since it gives energy to the body in order to burn the fats during exercising. And this feature makes it a useful carb food before any workout and this is also why it is a favourite fruit for focussed athletes. It is a full package fruit; containing, carb, nutrients, energy, natural sugars, potassium, Vitamin B6. Moreover what matters is the wise consumption of any food. If you consume bananas wisely then they would certainly help you in gaining strength and energy and would not lead to body weight gain.
