It does not only depend on the number of bananas but total calories you are having in a day. Banana itself is not an unhealthy fruit and can be had 2 in a day if calorie management is done.
Next Steps
Book a consultation to understand how to manage bananas with your diet and more

Healthy afternoon,
There is no strict rule, it’s best not to eat more than one or two bananas a day . Eating more could lead to weight gain, as they contain both carbs and sugar .
Ensure you are eating a balanced diet by including a range of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hi,
As banana only not considered for weight gain, but your overall calories in a day, you can have it if the current requirements meet including this.

Taking banana only will not help
Taking 2-3 days is fine but you should add variety to get nutrition and fiber
