    As a guy who doesn’t give a “DAMN!” about his weight, I only know about this stuff second-hand, but I think you’re misunderstanding.

    Counting calories only matters when you’re trying to lose or maintain weight. You have a daily mark, and you want to stay under that mark, so you count calories. You eat enough that you’re not starving through the day, and keep track. If you’re low enough under the mark, you can afford to have a dessert.

    Again, this is all just second-hand knowledge as remembered by a guy who doesn’t care, so feel free to correct me if you have actual experience with this practice.

    It’s just a banana, Adam. How many calories could it be? Six? Seven?

        90 Kilocalories which means 90000 calories, not 90. Sorry if that sounds nitpicky but confusing cal with kcal is kinda my pet peeve. It’s off by a factor 1000, come on! No one else that cares? No? Aww. Okay, sorry for disturbing. ^^

          I googled “calories in a banana” and they gave me “89 calories” (the word “calories”, not an abbreviation) as the sort of big-text answer you get when you’re not searching for sonething obscure. Not sure whether I missed something or Google’s algorithm is screwing up.

            In the US we just say calories, everywhere else in the world seems to use kcal but all my calorie counters just say calorie cause I think it’s what we’re used to here xD

            Nah it’s just the state of affairs when it comes to science and engineering being overridden by marketing which is based on a combination of stupid and outright lies.

            Look at anti-vaxing where they are literally enabling the crippling and deaths of thousands. Stupid is being encouraged to line drug companies pockets.

            Sorry for being such a downer on a Friday.

            Actually, Alpha-Sigma did just miss something; searching “calories in a banana” on Google gives the result “89 calories / 100 grams”. That was absolutely unnecessary, logically flawed, and phrased as a borderline human-hate rant.
