Just have to add - there is a real reason regarding the superstition regarding banana's on boats. Banana's give off potassium gas so in the early trade days when boats holds were stocked with bananas at a passing island it would ripen and spoil most of the other perishables on board. I crew on a 1600's replica spice ship so maritime history sort of comes with the territory regarding the banana superstition..we don't allow passengers to bring bananas aboard.
Between dives, I eat everything if on a liveaboard, land based - fruit, a big fan of soup and I drink nothing but watermelon juice or coconut water straight from the coconut.

Wow. Strange old thread.
As I read through it, I was struck by the number of 2009 posters who I haven't seen around in a long while.
Out of 33 unique posters by 2009, 21 have dropped off the planet. And they were not members with low post counts.
As of June 2015, we haven't heard from (haven't signed-in to SB)....

I'd stay with protein. It will keep your blood sugar rock stable and keep you full. You only really need to eat when exercising when it's something really intense and long like long distance running or bike riding. In that case, your body is using cellular respiration as the ideal eneregy source and carbs help. Your body doesn't do that when diving.
