My kid decided he wanted carrots, chocolate pudding, and taco seasoning for lunch.
It’s like the worst mole sauce I’ve ever had.

Lemme do an open forum one here: how/when/why did the banana become the “lifter’s fruit?”
I bring this up because I despise bananas. I genuinely don’t know why: something about them on a visceral level just doesn’t appeal (OMG a banana pun) to me. I’ll eat the hell out of banana bread/muffins, I’ll cut up a banana over breakfast cereal, I “get” banana splits, but in all those instances it’s basically just dressing up a banana with a bunch of sugary junk. An actual, for real banana, I won’t touch.
But lifters all seem to LOVE bananas. They’re ALWAYS included in every shake and every diet plan that includes fruit. I’ve known dudes that were adamant that you NEEDED to eat a banana before training, to the point that, if they forgot to shop and get bananas, they didn’t train.
I know we got hoodwinked on their potassium content, but is there something I’m missing?

Cost, convenience and subjective but taste. Though that all goes out the window if travelling with one!
They just “go” with/in a shake. Frozen banana especially makes for a thicker texture if blitzed in a shake.
I’ll add one to Skyr or cottage cheese before bed, apparently bananas release something to improve sleep, but I’m not entirely sold on that…
See, I don’t see the convenience. You eat one and you’re left with a chore: you have a peel you have to dispose of. To say nothing of, if you don’t buy them at the right time, they gotta ripen, and just like avocados, they seem to go from “not ready” to rotten overnight. But perhaps this is just my anti-banana rhetoric.
But I don’t see lifters get all jazzed up about apples. Or pears. Or plums. Or dates. Or grapes. It’s JUST the banana.
Not a problem I having as will only eat one at home…
Absolutely take your point ref the ripeness, though, there is definitely a peak ripeness point and the window is small! In the UK avocados are a costly mistake if purchased at the wrong time.

Potassium content of bananas seems relevant imo.
Bananas have magnesium also.
Bananas are a carb/sugary source that has a medium GI index.
That’s why I bring up how overblown they are. They get beat out by potatoes AND bacon. It’s like spinach and iron: somehow it gets top billing, when really it’s just second banana.
The puns are just too good to pass up.

I have nothing against pork products in general. There is no way anyone can convince me that “classic”, greasy, fried up bacon is “good” for you. (similar to I never believed coffee causing cancer, and now coffee curing cancer…). The interwebz says you are correct about canadian bacon, which imo is just ham.
Your banana worshipping buddies are probably in the camp of a “healthy” carb up with a reasonable GI food before a work out, probably.

Eh, I’m outside of the realm of “good for” vs “bad for”, but I just dig how it kicks the crap out of bananas at their own game of potassium, haha
But maybe Elvis had the right idea all along!
8000 calorie pre-workout meal anyone? Tons of carbs from the jelly, bananas and bread, potassium from the bacon and bananas, the fats from the peanut butter and bacon will help slow down the carbs so you don’t get that spike and crash midworkout, and just a little bit of protein to help with the synthesis. I think we’re onto something!

That picture is misleading. The comparison should be one banana vs about 10 slices of bacon, not the four? bananas in that picture.
And even Thor Bjornsson woud be asleep after eating that sandwich, not working out LOL.
I’m guessing the modest GI aspect of bananas is why it’s the carb of choice for the banana worshippers…no, different people you perverts…
I’m fairly certain it’s just there to represent what the food looks like. The grams are listed. It was honestly just the first infographic I found to get a giggle. Here’s another one
I imagine Elvis figured out the trick to mix it with a bunch of stimulants to balance out, which was the Mariusz Pudzianowski method.

-
Pork Loin: A 3-ounce serving of boneless pork loin chop can contain about 770 mg of potassium, which is quite significant.
-
Pork Chops: A 3-ounce serving of pork chops (fresh, loin, top loin, boneless, separable lean only) contains around 387 mg of potassium.
-
Ham: A cup of roasted, cured ham might have about 573 mg of potassium.
-
Canadian Bacon: A 3-ounce serving of Canadian bacon provides approximately 598 mg of potassium.
-

Random off topic question: how come Pudz never competed in the Arnold?
He did…
D-uh. My bad assumption based on never hearing about him having any Arnold titles.
