What time/price bucket do bananas fall in?

Oh, bananas are god tier — I probably ate 2-3 a day for years. But you can’t live off them. 5+ Bananas a day really made me feel sick during some lean times. Nutritionally also pretty poor for sustenance, no fat or protein, and they digest very quickly.

Somewhere well below frozen burritos and pizzas: https://efficiencyiseverything.com/calorie-per-dollar-list/

True, banana + frozen burritos / pizza for protein and fat are an excellent combo in this situation
