2.U can also use it as post workout as it replenishes your glycogen stores quickly

3.If you are on a fat loss diet/program then you can have 1-2 bananas a day.I would not recommend you more than 2 as it will be difficult for you balance your macros.

4.If you are on a muscle building diet you can easily have upto 6 bananas a day,going beyond 6 bananas is usually not recommended due to its high pottasium&fibre levels
