Generally, it is recommended to eat 2 bananas a day. The amount of bananas you consume through the day will depend on your tolerance to vitamins and minerals, as some people are simply more capable of consuming vitamins and minerals without any complication.
How much fibre should I eat every day? A rough estimate of the amount you need is about 18g a day, though 16 - 24g is a healthy range and individual requirements vary. Ideally you should aim to open your bowels at least once a day and not have to strain when you go to the loo. One example of what you'd need to equal about 18g is a bowl of bran cereal for breakfast, a wholemeal sandwich with a bowl of salad for lunch, and five portions of fruit and vegetables.
