Calories in common servings
These are reference edible weights. Weigh your own food for a more precise result.
| Serving | Weight | State | Kcal | Protein | Fat | Carbs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium banana, edible flesh | 118 g | Raw, flesh without peel | 105.02 | 1.29 g | 0.39 g | 26.95 g |
| Small banana, edible flesh | 101 g | Raw, flesh without peel | 89.89 | 1.1 g | 0.33 g | 23.07 g |
| 1 cup sliced banana | 150 g | Raw, flesh without peel | 133.5 | 1.64 g | 0.5 g | 34.26 g |
What affects the calorie value
The reference serving covers edible flesh only. Weighing a banana with its peel will overstate the amount actually eaten.
As a banana ripens, the balance of starch and sugars changes, but everyday tracking normally uses an average record. For packaged purée or dessert, prefer the label.
Vitamins and minerals per 100 g
Values come from the same USDA records. They show the amount in the food, not a percentage of an individual daily requirement.
| Nutrient | Raw, flesh without peel |
|---|---|
| Potassium, mg | 358 |
| Vitamin B6, mg | 0.37 |
| Magnesium, mg | 27 |
| Vitamin C, mg | 8.7 |
| Folate, µg | 20 |
| Manganese, mg | 0.27 |
How to calculate more accurately
Peel the banana before weighing. Using the weight including the peel overestimates the edible serving.
The 120 g serving is a convenient example. For half a banana, enter the actual weight of that half.
Do not use fresh banana values for dried bananas or banana chips; their water and added oil content differ.
Common questions
How many calories in one banana?
It depends on size. This reference gives 106.8 kcal for 120 g of flesh; weighing is more precise.
How many calories are in a medium peeled banana?
A 118 g medium banana provides about 105 kcal. The reference weight is an estimate, so weighing your banana is more precise.
Can half a banana be counted as 60 g?
You can use 60 g as an estimate for half a medium banana, but banana sizes vary widely. Weighing the peeled half is more accurate.
Do banana chips have the same calories?
No. Chips contain less water and may include added oil or sugar. Use a separate record or the package label.
