Despite being sweet, bananas are low in calories and high in fiber, which helps you feel full longer. Eating one as part of a balanced breakfast may help prevent overeating later in the day.
⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
Bananas are high in natural sugars, so if you have diabetes, monitor portion sizes and pair them with protein or fat to prevent spikes in blood sugar.
Eating too many on an empty stomach may cause mild bloating or discomfort in sensitive individuals.
