Yes, if you eat too many. 3 - 4 small bananas are very good for especially woman of all ages because it is loaded with potassium and it is said that potassium can help calm down PMS, potassium is also said to help with period pains.

Not one food is fattening, even a Big Mac is not fattening if it is a once in a while treat and you eat healthily the rest of the time. (Always supposing you think a Big Mac is a treat.)

It's true that bananas are low in water compared to other fruits. That means there's more carbohydrate (and therefore more calories) per bite compared to say a plum. Water has no calories, so generally, the higher a fruit's water content, the lower the calories per serving. Here's one way to think about how "watery" a fruit or veggie is: consider what it looks like dried, when most of the water's been removed. Dried grapes turn into tiny raisins, and sun-dried tomatoes are transformed into shriveled little curls. But high-starch, low water foods like beans, peas, potatoes and bananas look relatively the same when dehydrated.

Bananas contain a lot of natural sugar, but so do many other fruits. Eating one type of food or another doesn't make you fat. People become fat when they eat more than their body needs to function properly and they don't add exercise to use up the extra calories.

There's always a balance between what you eat and how much you eat.

A banana has 1g of fat and 200 calories. You would have to eat a whole lot of bananas to make yourself fat.

Yes, if you eat enough.

1 banana=200 calories

3500 calories=1 pound

3500/200=17.5

So it would take only 35 bananas to gain 2 pounds.

Eating fruits such as banana's are supposed to create the opposite effect, and make you lose weight rather than gain it.. but too much fruit can also have a bad effect on the body.
