Potassium In Food Archives

I’m doing a project for a class and I need to know how many calories are in each. The size are normal, not too big or too small. Just normal sized fruit! Thanks (:

Kids need to hear the monkey side of the story.

Thanks everyone! I have been getting the most horrible leg cramps and everyone keeps saying eat bananas but i dont like them.

Let’s talk Disorder Talk

After session driving and processing. Thought I would show you guys the final touch of the new fairy tattoo!!! I LOVE IT!!! And yes its SUPER swollen as you can tell! My elbow looks like a huge goose egg!!! Tear tear, but it was all worth it!!! It means alot to me!!!

Thanks Robert & Annabelle - I guess I could have just looked for myself but why deny you of your 10 points.

Further to this, one must ask is the potassium in bananas provided in the form of KCL already.

i ask because i have some banana chips that contain 3313 mg of "potassium" however i do not know if that is 3 thousand mg of K with the extra CL not counted leading to around 7 thousand mg KCL or is it 3 thousand mg of pure K assuming the molecular weight of K is 39 and chlorine is 35.5 (i say assuming…)

im working from this

K = 39

Cl = 35.5

KCL =74.5

I mmole of KCL = 74.5 mg

I meq KCL = 74.5 mg and provides 1 meq of K and 1 meq of Cl

what i really want to know is… how many (by weight) banana chips does one have to consume to bring about a state of hyperkalemia (assuming that the 3313 potassium is from 500g of banana chips and that it is unknown as to wether this is in the form of KCL or K)

i ate 600g over the course of 10 hours of course i felt a bit sick (vomity) and wondered how many would you have to eat to cause serious illness and was this number feasable before someone would reach "banana chip saturation" (yes… i just invented this) after which point, extra banana chips are ejected.

mostly i ask, because i have another 500g bag and i wonder if i can eat those too without dying lol… and felt like learning some biochem first rofl.

no stupid answers like "omgz ur gonna diez" cause no i aint… and dont assume i couldnt eat another half kilo of banana chips… cause i could… even though its around 3000 calories (OMGWTFBBQ) anyway… off to bed, to dream of molecules dancing around my head ill look at any answers tomorrow (if there are any)

desserts, snacks, meals…I’m open to suggestions.
