How Many Calories in a Banana?

A medium banana (about 120 g) has roughly 105 kcal, 27 g of carbs and 3 g of fibre.

Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the world, and a great source of quick energy, potassium and vitamin B6. Here's the calorie breakdown by size and ripeness.

Calories in a banana by size

ServingWeightCaloriesCarbs
Extra small (<15 cm)~80 g~72 kcal~18 g
Medium (15–18 cm)~120 g~105 kcal~27 g
Large (>20 cm)~150 g~135 kcal~34 g
100 g (any size)100 g~89 kcal~23 g

Does ripeness change calories?

The calorie total stays roughly the same as bananas ripen, but the carbohydrates become simpler (more sugar, less starch), so a very ripe banana may raise blood sugar faster than a green one.
