Do fruits, such as apples and bananas, contain a lot of calories?
Fruits do not contain a large amount of calories. An apple generally contains about 60 to 80 calories depending on its size. Bananas, however, are somewhat high in carbohydrates. One banana contains about 30 grams of carbohydrates, which is about 2 servings of carbohydrates. As long as this is taken into account, bananas are very healthy because they are high in vitamins. Potassium is key in certain body processes, especially when exercising. Fruits tend to be low in calories and they are also a good snack because they contain natural sugars that add a sweet taste without consuming sugar in excess.
