~Day 97~ Potassium

According to one of my apps, I am running a consistent potassium intake deficit. It seems as though bananas are the most commonly known source of potassium, but one banana only contains about 450 mg of potassium (depending on the size of the banana, of course) and we are supposed to get somewhere between 3500 and 4700 mg each day (depending on where you look.) How many bananas can one person consume in a day, assuming they are not an ape or a monkey? Anyway, bananas make me nauseous due to a long ago association with my pneumonia. So, I'll go with Wikipedia and just start eating more chocolate - LOL! (Just kidding of course, though it is high in potassium - especially the dark chocolate.)
