Once small banana weighing about 3.7 ounces contains 23 grams of total carbohydrates, according to the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory. The Institute of Medicine recommends you obtain 45 to 65 percent of your calorie intake from carbohydrates.
This portion also offers 2 grams fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 67 calories. Since most bananas we buy are large, it's a good idea to know the carb counts in those as well. One large banana (8 to 9 inches long) will have 31 grams effective (net) carbohydrate, 3.5 grams fiber, 17 grams of sugar, and 121 calories. As you can see, that's double the 1/2-cup serving, which is why it's a good idea for low-carb dieters to stick to the smaller amount.
