I have anywhere from 3-4 bananas per day (when I have bananas). Is that too much? And if so, why?

Eat as many as you want dude. 3-4 is just fine especially if you are trying to gain some muscle. Eat most of them after your intense workouts. I ate 5 today for my lunch since I was out and about and was by a grocery store. It's the first time I have ever done this and I would most definitely do it again. A hell of a lot better than McDonalds. They are perfect in smoothies so eat up! And, they are cheap so if one is on a budget then he or she should allow more bananas in. |

I'd say up to 2 bananas a day are ok. From wikipedia: "Dr. Haas concluded that bananas enabled the breaking up of starches and the conversion of cane sugar into fruit sugar". So basically, except potassium, bananas have a special property that can break up "complex" carbs, so our gut can deal with such foods, reducing inflammation. Think of bananas as a digestive enzyme for other carbs. Therefore, they should not be eliminated, but I think 4 bananas a day is a bit too much. If you just like eating fruits, by all means do so, but maybe add some variety in there too? |

Eat as many bananas as you want, its not possible to over consume them in your case. |

It depends on how you feel about fructose/starch/calories. According to Dr. Mercola, you should limit your fructose intake to less than 25 grams per day. Also according to Mercola, 1 average sized banana is about 11 or 12 grams. So, if you subscribe to Dr. Mercola's view, you're eating about double what you should. My opinion would be "whatever you feel good on". |

I love bananas as they are comfortable on my inflamed intestines.They are easy to digest and good to have before a workout in a smoothie!Limit depends on activity levels and insulin sensitivity. |

Sugar from fruit is probably much better than added sugar. That said, fruit contains a lot of sugar so I would limit it to 1 a day, assuming you're eating a variety of other fruits and sweet foods (chocolate, sweet potato, etc). My reason is simple: I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Plus, the yanomami are a bit chubby... :) |

Are you trying to lose weight? How active are you? If you are trying to lose weight, I'd stay away from bananas completely. |

they say bananas are bad for you if you eat to much of it. 4 will be enough it depends how big it is. Too much banana can give you head ache, nervous blockage and what so ever. it depends really. better to ask a doctor or nutritionist about it. And, please be reminded that too much consumption is bad for you if you have diabetes because of so called fruit sugar from it. Better to consult a dietrician to be guided accordingly. |

2 a day is fine. It's not perfect, but fine. Any more would be going to far.....but i guess its just what ever feels right. I would only suggest one though, if ur trying to loose weight. |

I found that I could eat like 8 if I eat them raw. If I fry them for 6 minutes, with 2 bananas I'm satistified. |

In the name of national security... Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT, eat a truckload of bananas.
http://www.nti.org/analysis/articles/radiological-nuclear-detection-devices/ But in all seriousness, none if you have fatty liver disease, as many as you would like if you are not looking to lose weight, 1-2ish if you are trying to lose weight. |

my record was 22 bananas and that was when i was following the 30bad diet. i felt pretty full on that amount, but saw no ill effects from this. now, i just stick to 2-3 if i'm eating them. i really enjoy them and don't see any problem with eating that amount. |

I've had a potassium overdose once so there has to be a limited amount of bananas to eat a day.. I ate 2 and I want to eat another one but I don't know how many a day I should eat this is why I'm on this site. No one seems to know so I'm going for it. |

I heard a case of eating bananas like more than 5, not sure if consumed in one day or been consuming so much for consecutive days ... and unfortunately he died.. This is because of potassium overload on his body. Too much is also harmful though banana is one of the healthiest fruit. He ate that much bananas as this is the available food source they have because they ran out of food while in a mountain climbing. one in a while should be ok...but everyday with 3-4 bananas.. i think better think twice... you can always take other fruits. |
