1 piece (medium) of Banana (peeled) (120 g) has 107 calories. That works out to 89 calories per 100 g. It contains 27.4 g of carbs, 1.3 g of protein, 0.4 g of fat and 3.1 g of fiber. Its 0.4 mg of B6 covers 26% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 51 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A peeled banana is the soft, sweet fruit of a tropical plant grown widely in warm regions. Its pale flesh is creamy and easy to mash, becoming sweeter as it ripens. It is commonly eaten fresh as a portable snack, sliced over cereal or porridge, blended into smoothies, or used in baking. In many places, it is also served with yogurt or nut butter for a more filling bite.
Bananas provide carbohydrate for readily available energy, along with fiber and potassium; a medium one weighs about 120 g. Their natural sweetness can help flavor breakfast bowls and desserts, so you can often use less added sugar in recipes.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A ripe peeled banana can contribute fiber, but it is not a reliable constipation remedy. Less-ripe bananas contain more resistant starch, which may worsen constipation for some people. Drink fluids and include other fiber-rich foods too.
Coat the exposed surface of a peeled banana with a little lemon juice and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Browning is caused by contact with air; it changes appearance more than safety.
Yes. Slice a peeled banana, freeze the pieces in a single layer, then transfer them to a sealed freezer container. The thawed fruit will be soft, so it works especially well in smoothies, baking, and porridge.
Yes, refrigerate a peeled banana if you are not eating it right away. Keep it covered in an airtight container to slow browning and limit exposure to other foods. Use it promptly for the best texture.
Yes, people with diabetes can eat peeled bananas, but the carbohydrates can raise blood glucose. Pairing one with a source of protein or fat may help make a snack more filling. For an individual meal plan, ask your diabetes care team.
No single peeled banana causes weight gain. It can be a filling snack, but regularly eating more energy than your body uses can lead to weight gain. Choose it instead of, rather than in addition to, a less filling snack.
Yes, eating a peeled banana at night is generally fine. It does not have a special effect that causes weight gain or disrupts sleep for everyone. If eating close to bedtime makes you uncomfortable, have it earlier.
A peeled banana may taste bitter if it is underripe, bruised, or beginning to spoil. Choose fruit with a sweet smell and creamy flesh; discard it if it has an off odor, mold, or an unusually slimy texture.
Yes, small brown spots on a peeled banana are usually harmless and often reflect oxidation or bruising. Do not eat it if the spots come with mold, a sour or fermented smell, or a distinctly slimy texture.
Yes, a peeled banana is a convenient pre-workout snack because its carbohydrates provide readily available energy. Eat it early enough to feel comfortable during exercise, especially if food close to a workout upsets your stomach.
