Banana calories
per banana, not per 100 g
The short answer
One banana, weighed
105kcal 1 medium banana — taken as 100 g — has about 105 calories, with 1.3 g protein, 24.0 g carbohydrate and 0.3 g fat. Two come to 210 kcal, three to 315 kcal.
Per 100 g, banana carries 105 kcal మరియు 1.3 g protein.

Serving assumed: 1 medium banana ≈ 100 g — edible portion only. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one banana
- Read the per-100 g row for banana out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 105 kcal మరియు 1.3 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 medium banana at 100 g (edible portion only). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
- Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 105 × 100 ÷ 100 = 105 kcal per banana. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two bananas are exactly twice one.
- Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.
per banana = per 100 g × serving grams ÷ 100 Banana = 105 kcal × 100 g ÷ 100 = 105 kcal energy check = 4P + 4C + 9F ±15% (±20% if fibre ≥ 6 g)
Banana, entered by the portion
The kitchen ledger: one banana at 100 g, then two, then three. Every row is the row above multiplied — nothing is rounded up or quietly adjusted.

Kept in kilocalories — the "calories" printed on a packet. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Fibre is entered on its own line and is counted in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure.
The 100 g column, kept for the record
Because every other site quotes it, and because you should be able to check our arithmetic against theirs.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 medium banana (100 g) |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 105 kcal | 105 kcal |
| Protein | 1.3 g | 1.3 g |
| Carbohydrate (available) | 24.0 g | 24.0 g |

What it takes to burn off 1 medium banana of banana
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 105 kcal, using MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. This is a scale check, not a licence — appetite rises with activity and the two do not cancel neatly.

Calculated as MET × 3.5 × 70 kg ÷ 200 kcal per minute. Full working on the method page, and the whole activity dataset at BurnLab.
Where banana sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 basics, nuts & fruit entries on this site, banana ranks ప్రొటీన్కు 16వ (1.3 g per 100 g) and శక్తి సాంద్రతకు 17వ (105 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is peanuts at 25.0 g.
Protein supplies only 5% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. There is very little fibre here — 1.8 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.
ప్రశ్నలు
How many calories are in 1 medium banana?
About 105 kcal for 1 medium banana, taken as 100 g (edible portion only). Two come to roughly 210 kcal and three to 315 kcal. Per 100 g, banana carries 105 kcal.
How much protein is in banana?
1.3 g per 100 g, which works out to 1.3 g in 1 medium banana. That is 5% of the energy in this food, and ranks 16th of 20 in the basics, nuts & fruit group on this site.
Is banana good for weight loss?
At 105 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. No single food makes or breaks a diet; the total for the day does.
Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume edible portion only. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
Similar foods
Four more from basics, nuts & fruit, and three from elsewhere with a similar energy density.
Where this number comes from
Verified against the source table. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate — dietary fibre excluded and listed separately.
Source row: IFCT 2017 E012, Banana, ripe, robusta. IFCT carries no generic banana. Robusta is used because it is the only one of the four sampled across all six regions; montham and red banana at E009 and E011 are denser, near 25 g.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
