    Yes because you read the nutrition facts you feel you know something. You have no idea the effects of popcorn on your body. You still think low fat is good.

    Based on the few posts of yours that I have read, you fall into the category of " feel you know something ".

    I don't feel, I know I do. Hey do what you would like. The vibes I getting from MFP are basically how to lose weight any means necessary! It's wild! Good bye, I'll stick to my own posts.

    Superiority complex. Got it. You could not be further from the truth about MFP being an " any means necessary " place. But there is low tolerance to know it alls who think they are smarter than everyone else. If you are as smart as you say you are, how about spend some time and browse the forums, read the sticky's, get a feel for the place rather than busting in the door telling everyone that they are doing it wrong. I'm sure you could compliment the forums if you get off your high horse.

    This app is about helping people. Not who knows more. The proof is in a pudding. All I say stick to what works for u. All in moderation does it for me. I still have sugary things but stick to my calorie allowance and it works for me

    Smoothies are my personal favourite. I prep, cut and freeze fruit so it's always handy to throw in the blender with a little coconut milk, almond milk, or even water. I can make a smoothie in 2 minutes, and as I don't add sugar I end up with a large smoothie (12-16 oz) with under 150 cal. Adding vanilla extract kicks it up a notch for citrus/tropical smoothies (mango, orange or pineapple).

    Beyond that, air-popped popcorn, clementines, kiwis, whole carrots, half a bagel with cream cheese. Also chips and salsa--Tostitos bite-size rounds with hot salsa comes to 150 cal for 25 g (about 20 chips) and 4 tbsp (or a 1/4 cup) of salsa. Or boil chicken broth (1.5 cup) and add 45 g of capellini spezzati noodles for a cup o' soup at about 160 cal.

    Yet you've never attempted to explain why popcorn is bad. Then again, you also apparently think iron is organic, so...

    Here are some of my favorite grab-and-go foods:
    -Frozen fruit. It's easy to portion out a serving in a plastic bag, take it with you, and have it thaw by the time you eat. Frozen blueberries also satisfies my ice cream cravings for only 60 Calories per cup.
    -Nuts. Some companies have small 100-Calorie nut packs. I keep a ton of these in my purse for snacking.
    -Eggs. I love having deviled eggs and cheese as a snack. The fat and protein in them keep me full for at least a solid 6 hours.
    -Mini babybell cheese. I prefer "splurging" on 20 Calories and getting the original version. It keeps me fuller much longer than the lite version.
    -Greek yogurt. It helps me a lot in reaching my protein macros.

    Very healthy

    What's a bell pepper?

    I think it's just like the peppers we get that come in green, red, yellow and orange. I'm not sure if they have a more specific name in the UK than just 'peppers' lol.

    I like rice cakes with something on...marmite, Philadelphia light, peanut butter, jam (not all together).

    Babybels are nice.

    I'm waiting to find out why popcorn is bad. That skinny topcorn stuff is nice. My 3 year old likes it.

    When I make smoothies, I make extras and freeze them in a plastic cup with a cover. I grab a frozen smoothy and a straw when I am on the run.

    I always keep hard boiled eggs in the fridge. And homemade beef jerky. Low calorie and high in protein.
