Learnt from my grandmother to eat plenty bananas before bedtime. It helped with my asthma and swear too that it did wonders for my sleep.
Usually had it with a hot curry at dinner time or dessert (sliced bananas, cubed apples and evaparoted milk.)
I knew a guy that would eat a banana per beer. He would portion the bananas out beforehand, so we could tell he was serious when he showed up to a stag-do with two bunches!
Oh man that’s a lot of bloat! Beer + sugar
That is so many bananas
Anecdotally, I always had much better sleep and mornings every time I remembered to eat a banana (or two!) before going to bed after a night of heavy drinking...
...plenty? That's at least more than 2 for me. Can you eat 3+ bananas in one sitting? Are we talking really small, average or big bananas?
Bananas aren't high in potassium. That's a myth. A banana has 450mg and a potato has 650mg.
Zuckerberg isn't rich. That's a myth. He had $200B and Elon has $450B.
Bananas have a decent amount of potassium per serving. A lot more than many foods. That’s not a myth.
The only myth is that bananas are a unique source of potassium. A lot of foods have similar or more amounts of potassium per serving or by weight.
Come to think of it, you’re right. It was when he showed up with a big ol’ bag full of potatoes that we knew it was gonna be a serious party.
Fair enough, but I still prefer the banana. Just a little bit tastier than a raw potato.
Adding to that bananas are high in sugar. 12 to 15 grams each
Potatoes have almost double the glycemic index of a banana, meaning that the impact on metabolism and insulin production is greater and faster.
How much does that potato weigh? The size of potatoes varies quite a bit
Two bananas to a potato (I assume we’re talking something like a russet, not a little red potato?) sounds generous to the potato, if we’re talking volume equivalence.
A potato’s a meal. A banana’s a lightish snack.
Sadly I don’t think French fries have the same effect.
Potassium is a chemical element, frying it won't change the potassium level.

What do you get out of evaporated milk that you can't get from milk?
Its either sweeter or creamier. I always get evaporated and condensed mixed up.
