Sites always measure bananas in inches. Are they measuring the inside curve, the outside curve, or averaging the two? It makes a pretty substantial difference, which is why I asked. Seems silly but I can't be the ONLY person in the world wondering :dizzy:

If I didn't feel like weighing mine, I would always just guess it's a 'medium' and use the corresponding calories.  I never tried actually measuring though.  And nope, you're not the only one to wonder about this. :tongue:

Ha I've wondered about that too, although I do just tend to go with "medium" or "large".
