Detailed explanation-2: -Source Of. One serving, or one medium ripe banana, provides about 110 calories, 0 gram fat, 1 gram protein, 28 grams carbohydrate, 15 grams sugar (naturally occurring), 3 grams fiber, and 450 mg potassium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like other fruits, bananas are a good source of carbs, with about 27 grams of carbs in 1 medium banana ( 1 ). Carbs are either broken down into glucose (sugar) or converted to glucose, which is a main source of fuel for your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fats are the slowest source of energy but the most energy-efficient form of food. Each gram of fat supplies the body with about 9 calories, more than twice that supplied by proteins or carbohydrates. Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat.
