What is this food?
AI-assisted
Banana (Ternate) — a sweet, starchy fruit. For every 100g, it has about 134 kcal, 31.6g carbohydrates, and 3.5g fiber with 16.5g natural sugar.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Banana helps give quick energy for your daily activities, and the dietary fiber (3.5g) supports better digestion and helps you feel fuller between meals. It also has very low fat and almost no sodium, which is good for heart-friendly eating. Since it has natural sugar and carbs, pairing it with protein or healthy fats (instead of eating it alone every time) can help keep your energy steadier. Also, if you’re watching saturated fat, note that banana has some saturated fat (0.14g) but it’s still low overall—so it’s generally a fine fruit choice when portion and frequency are balanced.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • For snacks, try 1 small to 1 medium banana (or about 100g) and pair it with plain yogurt, milk, or a handful of nuts to balance the carbs.
  • If you’re having banana with rice or bread, keep the portion smaller so your total carbs for the meal stay reasonable.
  • Choose whole banana over banana-based drinks or desserts most of the time—this helps you get fiber instead of just sugar.
  • Since it’s sweet, enjoy it regularly but not every snack—mix it with other fruits and whole foods across the day.
