There are no significant differences in calorie content between green and yellow bananas.
Both types contain roughly the same number of calories, typically around 90 to 105 calories for a medium-sized banana.
The key difference lies in their composition: green bananas are higher in resistant starch, while yellow bananas have converted much of that starch into sugars as they ripen.
Green bananas contain more fiber and resistant starch, which is not fully digestible and can contribute to feelings of fullness.
This resistant starch is beneficial for gut health but yields fewer calories during digestion compared to the sugars found in yellow bananas
As bananas ripen, the starches break down into simpler sugars, making yellow bananas sweeter and easier to digest
But the overall calorie content remains similar. Thus, while their nutritional profiles differ, their caloric values are comparable
