Do you think it’s healthy I eat a lot of bananas? I run every day and I like bananas in spite of the fact that I know they don’t have any particular vitamins. I also know that they have a high energetic value, and bearing in mind that I have to lose a few pounds it’s not the smartest diet. What are your experiences with eating large quantities of bananas?

All I know is that bananas are recommended when you have to replenish your body’s energy levels in a short time. That’s why tennis players usually have a bite of a banana while they’re have a break. Bananas have a lot of sugar and thus are reserve of energy. I don’t know what happens if you eat lots of bananas if you don’t practice strenuous training, but I guess that you should be careful if you want to lose a few pounds. Maybe you can check how many calories a banana has and thus conclude how much you can eat. Maybe two bananas a day if you run are ok, but more that that would be too much. I also like bananas and have a problem not to eat 2 pounds at a time.
