One banana contains almost entirely water and carbohydrates and contains approximately 112 calories. They contain very little protein and no fat. The carbohydrates in green, unripe bananas are mostly starch and resistant starch — a type of indigestible fiber. The flavor of the fruit sweetens as it ripens, while the fiber content decreases.
