What one serving looks like
One medium banana of about 100 g peeled is about the length of a hand. A big banana can be much larger.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 89 kcal, one serving is about 6 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 7 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. A banana is an easy snack or pre-workout fuel. One a day can fit into a weight loss plan without trouble.

How cooking changes the number
Raw, ripe banana. A banana shake with sugar or a fried banana changes the number.
A swap to try
Try Apple. An apple has fewer calories and more crunch if you want a lighter snack. Apple (1 medium, about 150 g) comes to 78 kcal, which is 11 kcal less than 89 for banana.
Who might want to watch it
People managing blood sugar often prefer a slightly less ripe banana, and half at a time.
