hi everyone, i really like to eat bananas. I just really like the taste of them, i like the shape and texture, and i feel like they help me recover from hard workouts. Nutrition-wise, does anyone see any problems consuming this many bananas? thanks in advance.
is it bad to eat 5 bananas per day?

Sure it's fine. There was someone posting on here once who ate 20-30 bananas in one sitting. He even posted a video as people didn't believe him.

wow i would love to eat 30 bananas at a time, but even i dont think i could do that 😅
anyway, i feel like i am holding back with 5 per day. i think ideally, i would eat 8-9 per day. would that still be ok?

There was literally a diet fad called 30 Bananas A Day by some militant vegan and his gf. Pretty sure he got popped for some domestic abuse and then it faded away. It was very popular among militant vegans for a while.
Twitter is here:Looks like the website is defunct.
You should be fine, but you might start becoming more aggressive.

It's only bad if you do not peel them.

If you want to be a World Champion and an Olympic medalist, then you should probably eat MORE than 5 bananas a day.50

I don't get how we are advised to cut down on free sugars (those added to foods) but no guidelines on natural sugars like those found in bananas, fruits, vegetables, etc.
The NIH says keep free sugars to not more than 24 g of free sugars a day. A single banana (one) has 14 grams, but again, this is not free sugars, so it doesn't count towards that RDA limit.
In terms of calories, I was surprised to find one has 105 calories, so: easy does it there, boys, if you are watching the weight!

No, it's not bad. Your mom paid her way through college doing just that.

I thought that was what the whole foods movement is about.

I remember that thread being absolutely hilarious. I had to go back and find it. It still holds up.

You are not supposed to get it. Nutrition is like religion. You have to be pious and there are some rules of piety and that’s that. If you question them, you are a heretic.
Meanwhile irreligious people go on with their lives as usual.

All fine and good, and I don't dispute that. And can we agree that keto is a cult?

Absolutely, ketonuts are insufferable.
