Im eating a bag of buttery popcorn and it says 1 cup popped is only 30 calories. Then it says the bag makes about 5 cups popped.
So am I to belive that an entire bag of butter popcorn is only 150 calories??

The low calorie content is one of the reasons I make popcorn my "junk" food. However, it's my understanding that air popped popcorn is healthier than microwave. Microwave popcorn has stuff in it to help it pop in the microwave, and the stuff in the bag as well. Also, with air popped, I can control how much "butter" I put on it. Well, we use Smart Balance, which is all natural. Also, air popped is cheaper. My husband once bought me a box of microwave popcorn marked "natural". Given the situation for which we were buying it, I agreed. Ha. I guess it was another case of the food company not expecting the consumer to read the box. Well, "natural" in my book does not include hydrogenated oils, full or partial or the stuff in the bag that causes the corn to pop. Yuck. I e-mailed the company, but I'm not sure if I ever received a reply, as I don't remember which e-mail address I used.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

yes... it's a great and filling snack to eat... it's good for you and takes awhile to eat.....
Weight WAtchers reccommend popcorn on their program for their snacks.... it's low calories and low points on their program... so enjoy...

PS Popcorn in a movie theater is a HUGGGGGGGGGGE NO... its filled w/ calories..... but the microwave kind .. and figuring out the calories per serving... you're correct in your totals.

that doesn't make experience. If a million Tablespoon makes a million cup, then that must be approximately fifty six energy according to popped cup. yet then it additionally says that there are 30 energy according to popped cup. i do no longer understand...are you particular you're analyzing it wisely?
