    Bananas

    I generally have 3 bananas a day, does the carb intake from them count towards my macros?

    this question calls to mind a question of my own:

    Lmfao you just said more eloquently exactly what I was thinking.

    Maybe clean or natural food sources don't actually count toward daily caloric intake?

    ^^ lol 405. Potassium cancels out the carbs maybe?

    I can't eat bananas too often anymore. Only because I can't fuking stop eating them. It's like desert for me. So once a week I'll get a few bananas. Usually they're gone by the time I get home. Zero discipline with bananas.

    in a pot heat up some cream and condensed milk, pour over bananas

    Any macro molecule you consume over the course of the day should be tallied up. If you eat a banana, you're ingesting carbohydrates; why wouldn't they count?

    No. Bananas have magical macros that don't count. Everybody knows this (especially the anorexic monkey population).

    Bananas don't count? That thought is one banana short of a bunch.

    2scoop vanilla whey
    50g rolled oats
    banana
    200ml water
    4-5 ice cubes

    blend - Thick banana smoothie shake for breakfast!

    Why did I think that? Because a while ago I posted I love bananas can I use these as a main source for carbs and I was told its a bad idea fructis isnt a good source for carbs compared to others. So then I thought well if I have 3 a day that's a fair chunk of carbs so should I maybe not count them if there not the best source. Sorry if it seemed a dumb question but that's why I asked it

    Its being a poor source for carbs has nothing to do with whether or not you should include the macros from it. When someone tells you it is a poor source, they are telling you that a majority of your carbs shouldn't come from it. The fructose in fruit has a high glycemic index (GI), so you are better off getting a majority of your carbohydrates from sources with a low GI.

    Carb free banana

    Click image for larger version.  Name: image-3467447199.jpg  Views: 170  Size: 105.3 KB  ID: 139766

    Bit chewy though.

    Actually, I may blend a banana in to my pancake mixture next time.

    bananas in pancakes blended is good, esp if u let it ripen a bit extra. i also enjoy slicing them and mixing them in they kind of crisp up, also very tasty and preferable IMO. sometimes i use bananas and strawberries..

    Why not? Bananas have a lot of carbs and sugars.
