What so great about BANANAS??

[StacksItRich]

I hate that banana's get such a bad rep for making you fat or something. It's not bad for a cut as long as you don't go over calories. Doesn't matter if it's 100 calories worth of cake or a 100 calorie banana as long as you're under calories. But, obv a banana has much better nutrients, vitamins, and health benefits that go along with eating it; which is why people tell others to eat clean on a cut or even a bulk. When limiting food; you tend not to get all the nutrition since you are limiting a portion of energy(food) to lose weight. However, fitting in a banana on a cut once in a while esp pre or post workout is great.

On my profile I put a vido of Mike Pulcinella on his 6 foods that work...they were oatmeal, eggwhites, chicken, brown rice/sweet potatoes, tuna, and BANANAS. How many bananas and when do you eat them??? I have always heard they go straight to your ass because of its higher GI....I know more unripe bananas are better than the riper ones (GI wise) but anyone with info....Please share!! Trying to cut the fat the quickest way possible so any other tips are welcome Thanks

>my face when i see this exact vid three years later, google bananas and bodybuidling and come here and read this





edit:another 2011 banana bodybuidling googling *** detected ^^^^

Strong first post bump.

It could have been worse. The bump could have been to the 30-bananas-a-day-diet thread

I have always heard they go straight to your ass because of its higher GI....

I'm about to blow your mind. So check this out...

The GI of foods = irrelevant and has nothing to do with weight loss/gain.

How "clean" a food is = irrelevant and has nothing to do with weight loss/gain.

(Heck, there's no such thing as clean/dirty foods, it's all personal opinion.)

Still with me?

Calories in vs. calories out will determine weight loss/gain, regardless of what you're eating. Crazy, huh?

Imagine...instead of trying to eat "clean" all this time, and driving yourself insane and yo-yo'ing up and down in the last two years since your original post, you could've just been mindful of your total caloric intake while including your favorite foods into your diet.

You could've been ripped by now! Shame...

As a diet tip because of the GI for bananas eat them mainly preworkout for energy. They are a quick energy source for someone cutting or bulking. Still ok for someone cutting to eat one or most two bananas post workout with a high protein meal. Especially for those who do Carb Back loading diet ( eat carbs only pay workout and zero to minimal carbs pre workout).
Just my tip

Banana + peanut butter = WIN.

Test wise bananas are good and Bananas help overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin -- the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter.

Add some nutella to that. Seriously good...

Strong bump. I don't eat many bananas but when i do i usually eat them very green and fried in butter/ghee, coconut oil, and or cocoa butter. Maybe with a little maple syrup or honey on top. Anyone else do this?

[Big_Spaz]

I eat two bananas each day. One pre-workout and the other post-workout.

Lots of good information. I eat one with my oatmeal for breakfast after fasting for 8 hours of sleep. I eat the 2nd one after my workout.

Good job on bumping a 7 month old post there Cap'n. I was reading all that silly nonsense back from 2008. I'm really glad to see the sport has progressed in 7 years and i'm getting into it at such a reasonable time.
