How many calories are in a banana and an orange?

I’m at work and need the calories for these two items can anyone help me!!

The place I work at doesnt have a nutrition book..

Go to calorie-count.com

Example: For 1 medium banana, it has 110 calories, and calories from fat are 5

It means that X number of calories out of the total number of calories in one serving come from fat. For example, if there are 240 total calories per serving and 120 are from fat, then 50% of that food’s calorie count comes from its fat content.

I can’t find any nutrition information on the FOOD stuff at Starbucks anything I”ve found on Starbucks Nutrition info. is only the drinks. Does anyone know the nutrition info for the banana nut loaf at Starbucks? Or any of the other food there?

Thanks

It’s hard for them to post it online because of the variations of sizes and exact ingredient amounts from location to location, but an estimation from a fab cook =) : Per serving, 250 – 300 calories, 8 – 14 grams fat, almost 0% for any nutrition

Today I put some avacado that was really ripe on my sandwich, and it tasted kind of weird. Is that bad for you, and does the nutrition change at all? What about ripe bananas that are kind of brown?

As long as it hasn’t gone bad, no, there’s no problem with it. Very ripe fruits and veggies are messier to eat and aren’t very pretty. Those are the two main reasons they’re avoided, I’d say — and the texture changes a little. That may do it for some folks. Anyway, they’re not unhealthful. Grab an extra napkin, or a spoon, and don’t look too closely at it. Then, enjoy!

Well it’s better than eating a whole bowl of cereal. Bannana and apple can digest faster and don’t have fat in them. Also they can help u poop better in the morning

What are the nutritional facts for a banana?  Vitamins, protein, potassium, etc.?

Chronic constipation can be hard to stop or elimination, since the colon has become weak. In most cases it will have to be retrained on how to have a bowel movement.

For those of you that have mild constipation, here is a morning banana smoothie that will help activate your colon. This smoothie is packed with nutrients that your body will use to regenerate your colon and body.

I have been making this smoothie for a few years. I make enough to drink right away and to put into my thermos to drink around 10am.

When I make this drink I just start putting things in the blender without measuring. You can do the same and make adjustments as you go.

” one peeled banana
” 4-5 strawberries or other type of berries, or fruits
” one tablespoon of lecithin granules
” one – two teaspoons of flax seed oil
” half and half almond milk and apple juice
” in a coffee grinder, grind up around a teaspoon or less of the following:

” Brown sesame seeds – are high in lecithin, vitamin C, E, and Calcium. They improve liver function and help in constipation
” Sunflower seeds – are high protein, Calcium, and iron. They are one of the best natural foods which feed the entire body.
” Flax seeds – are high in fiber and provide bulk for your stools.
” Almonds – use around 6-7 or more. They are high in Calcium, Phosphorus and have some B-vitamins. Only eat a few. They are high in calories.

After grinding the seeds, place them in the blender and blender everything for about 3-4 minutes. If you need a little sweetness, you can add a small amount of honey. I find this drink plenty sweet without any honey.

Sometimes I will add the powder of a few acidophilus capsules.

If I don’t add the almonds, I just put all the tiny seed into the blender without grinding them up. The blender will break them up.

This is a powerful banana smoothie to give you morning power and to activate your colon to get moving.

What is the nutrition value of dried fruits like banana, papaya, pineapple etc.  Do we get the same vitamins as fresh fruits?

Drying doesn’t remove the food value of fruits, only removes water. They still contain vitamins A, the B vitamins and any trace elements that were present before drying. Vitamin C would most likely be destroyed as it is water soluble, but a C rich fruit like the cranberry might retain a trace. The calorie content is the same.
