does popcorn make you fat?

Answer 1

well actually no,Popcorn contains fiber, providing roughage the body needs in the daily diet.
-low in calories -- only 31-55 calories in one cup of unbuttered, and when lightly buttered, one cup still only has 133 calories.
so just don't buttered ;)

Answer 2

No. Just like with any food, regardless of it's fat and calorie content, if you eat too much, you will gain weight. If you eat one bag of popcorn a day, you'll probably be ok. Also there are low fat options out there. They don't taste as good, but it's still good for a popcorn fix.

Answer 3

Air-popped, unsalted popcorn only has about 25 calories per cup -vs- 1 hard boiled egg which has about 75 -vs- 1 cup of Carnation Instant Nonfat Dry Milk (reconstituted) that has 80 calories.
But to answer your question, anything can make you fat given the proper circumstances.
