Answer 17

More than two

Answer 18

Answer 19

I told my leader that I eat 1 five days a week and she said that was too many. Maybe a half of one or one every other day. Too bad because I still eat 1 five days a week!  

Answer 20

I eat 2

Answer 21

Answer 22

I wouldn’t eat more than 2.  

Answer 23

Some people get constipated with too many bananas so do what your body tells you too

Answer 24

I eat three a day. It satisfies my craving for sweets. As long as the scale goes down and my blood sugar is good I don't worry about it.  

Answer 25

I eat just one a day.  

Answer 26

I only eat 1 a day. They are about 100 calories each, so keep that in mind.  

Answer 27

When they went to zero points I was eating one or two every day and I ended up gaining weight so I gave up bananas except for maybe once a week if that often

Answer 28

I eat one or two but my hubby eats 3 or 4 so depends on you

Answer 29

Answer 30

I eat 1 for breakfast most days.  

Answer 31

Banana ‘s all full of sugar and carbs. I would say max 1 1/2 if you don’t want them to affect your weight loss

I wouldn’t have more than 1

Answer 35

I would think more than 3

Answer 36

1 a day

Answer 37

I eat a banana everyday for breakfast - just one!  

Answer 38

UPDATE: I didn’t mean to create the big banana debate. I did mention in my original post our nutritionist removed banana from our diet because of the sugar content. My husband and I are boarder line diabetics like many who are overweight soooooo for us bananas have been replaced with other fruits that have less sugar. I didn’t say we didn’t lose while eating bananas, or that they are not nutritious, or that bananas are an overall bad food choice. I did say that just because they are zero points you should use caution not to consume tooooo many regardless of having any health conditions or not.

Answer 39

The more you have, the more constipated you may get. They are a binder but good potassium

Answer 40

No one gets fat from bananas

Comments

@sorbian8 that comment is very ignorant and I hate when people say it. Did you know that the military has people that are very under weight eat large amounts of bananas to gain weight?  

---

@nadabb really, is it ignorant? Do they only eat bananas? Is it not part of a high calorific plan? What are your qualifications may I ask?  

Answer 41

High natural sugar and cause constipation so only 1 in am

Answer 42

I wouldn’t eat more than 2 a day. But that’s just me.  

Answer 43

My friend lost 40 lbs and ate up to 10 fruits a day about 4 of them bananas. Everyone’s bodies are different

Answer 44

More than one

Answer 45

The military have people that are very under weight eat bananas to fatten them up. So I’d say no more than one or two bananas a day.  

Answer 46

My leader has said Let your weight loss be your guide when it comes to eating fruit and other 0 point foods

Answer 47

I eat one

Answer 48

Just a few a week is my opinion they are actually a starch like a potato or rice

Answer 49

I just have 1

Answer 50

I cut up just a 1/2 in my oatmeal. Technically 1/2 is 15 carbs which is one starch.  

Answer 51

The USDA recommends 2 cups of fruit per day or 2 bananas. Bananas have 27 gms of carbs each and 105 calories each. You need to remember that zero points does not mean zero calories. That being said, my belief is that you should have 1 banana per day and a cup of some other fruit(s) to get different nutrients. Different fruits have different benefits. You should take advantage of them all.  

Answer 52

I eat 2-3 a day and I’ve lost 100 lbs. Don’t overthink weight loss, just eat what you like, but just don’t Eat until you’re stuffed.  

Answer 53

4 per week very satisfing

Answer 54

Bodybuilders eat lots of bananas for potassium. I always stick to one banana sometimes 2

Answer 55

I have two fruits a day - one is a banana and one is an orange or grapes.

Answer 57

One is good. Old, old WW said half of one.  

Answer 58

I have 2 fruits a day

Answer 59

More than 1

Answer 60

As many as you think are too many better option than other foods that contain grease sugar etc. But negative Nancy’s on here will tell you different and how unhealthy more than 1 is  

Answer 61

I think more than one but I would be interested in knowing how a nutritionist would answer that question.  

Answer 62

More than 2

Answer 63

I am not at WW because I eat too many bananas.  

Answer 64

I panic if I run out of 1. Bananas. 2. Vitacup coffee. 3. Eggs 4. Pinto beans. These are my always there foods for a ravenous hunger.  

Answer 65

Any more than one is too much. Bananas, watermelon, pineapple, grapes are all high calorie fruits.  

Comments

@athanasia68 I eat fruit salad 1 cup at a time and count it as 1SP even though it could be zero.  

Answer 66

Well my answer would be to ask yourself these 2 questions: 1 are you diabetic & 2 are you still losing weight of 1-2lbs per week.  

Answer 67

How can watermelon be high in calories. i eat it every day in the summer its packed full of water . Someone explain it to me please

Comments

@sicilia @pember18142 Larson lol watermelon is not high in calories

---

According to another WW member it is. lmao. I know it isnt high in calories I was being sarcastic. lolol

---

@sicilia @pember18142 Larson I went to a nutritionist and she took me off those and I finally hit goal. I did mistakenly put high calorie instead of high sugar and I have corrected it.

@morman it's all good
