Banana vs apple
A medium banana has about 105 kcal, a medium apple about 95. Practically the same.
The difference
10 kcal
The banana has a little more carbs and is softer, so it gives energy faster. That is why runners eat them.
The apple has more water and fibre and takes longer to eat, so it tends to fill you up longer.
