They are high in sugar, if you're worried about that, stay away from bananas and pineapple, also. Eat oranges instead, and sweet potato!

Bananas are NOT fattening, but they do contain a significant amount of carbohydrates.
One large banana, about 9 inches in length, packs 602 mg of potassium and only carries 140 calories. That same large banana even has 2 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. Those reducing sodium in their diets can't go wrong with a banana with its mere 2 mgs of sodium. For the carbohydrate counters there are 36 grams of carbs in a large banana.
Vitamins and minerals are abundant in the banana, offering 123 I.U. of vitamin A for the large size. A full range of B vitamins are present with .07 mg of Thiamine, .15 mg of Riboflavin, .82 mg Niacin, .88 mg vitamin B6, and 29 mcg of Folic Acid. There are even 13.8 mg of vitamin C. On the mineral scale Calcium counts in at 9.2 mg, Magnesium 44.1 mg, with trace amounts of iron and zinc.

A banana has about 100 calories and less than 0.25 grams of fat. They also have about 27 grams of carbs. They are high in potassium as well.
So the answer depends on whether you live by the low carb diet structure or a more conventional one.

bananas are not necesarrily fattening but they do have a lot of carbohydrates which are harder to work off and then eventually will turn to fat if you dont do something with them other foods with carbs are bread and potatoes and also dont eat bananas before bed they give you nightmares hope i helped!

Depends how many you eat. They do have a lot of sugar and starch, but in moderate amounts they're good for you.
