It is so weird but I need it!!!
Have successfully lost regardless as I've cut out so many other carbs but I feel a primordial draw to the popcorn!

I don't think about carbs but I love me some popcorn. A huge bowl fits into my day so easily. I was splitting it with my boyfriend the other night and he asked "So...when I'm not here, you eat this all..by yourself?" Why yes I do.0

Mmm...popcorn...0

My sister eats a whole bag at a time as a meal, and she tracks with MFP as well.
It's a grain, right? So, it's either an awesome tool to help you eat a balanced diet, or it's the devil
. It depends who you ask. 0 -

My boyfriend says that my soul is made up of popcorn and mashed potatoes...0

I used to eat at least 10 snack packs a day, everyday
I love the stuff.... Too much!0 -
Popcorn is my Kryptonite!! Because my body doesn't like it yet I have a compulsion to eat it to excess!! So I avoid the movies, because the smell sets the whole thing in motion! Hubby is also not allowed to make it when I am home!0

I could eat it every day, LOVE it!0

i always seem to be short on calories at the end of the day and popcorn is my go-to. i toss those kernels in the pan then top according to my mood!0

If I say there is one food addiction it is popcorn. And I say the word addiction in humor because everyone will clamp down on that word "addiction"..
I have tried 50 different popcorns. My new go to is Skinny Pop Naturally Sweet (ready to eat out of the bag). Nom Nom Nom Nom.
I own this (mine is 8 years old now)... So you know I am serious about my popcorn...

Same here. Popcorn is my go-to when I need an extra 150 or so calories. I do mine air popped in the microwave plain. My microwave is broke now though so it's been a few days for me.i always seem to be short on calories at the end of the day and popcorn is my go-to. i toss those kernels in the pan then top according to my mood!

HA HA HA HA HA that's hysterical- I like it when mine tries to make me some for me and I'm like "that's it" and then he sees me make and has the same expression "all of that?!?!?!" LOL
I usually do like 3 tablespoons of kernals? ish- I don't weigh them- but I know it's 2-300 calories worht- it winds up being a lot- how I don't have epic long constitutionals I have no idea- my popcorn consumption is a little absurd. I should take a picture LMAO.0 -
I feel like popcorn justifies my high fat macro % also.

lolol. Yeah, I have about 300 calories worth and it takes up a huge metal mixing bowl.
By the way, I saw you mention that turkey hill moose tracks ice cream on another thread and have been eating it this week. Not bad.0 -

I started putting mine in the giant spaghetti making pot- my metal mixing bowl isn't big enough <shame face>
yeah- it gets the job done- it lacks that smooth creamy quality of other ice creams- but for 120 calories per serving- it totally hits the spot. plus - chucnks of mini peanut butter cups- and that fudge ribbon in there? GIVE IT TO ME BABY
(being said- don't let it freezer burn- that sh1t is THE WORST)0 -

Yaya. Not as creamy but the chocolate bits are just as good and 120 is a great calorie count. I like.0 -
There are much worse things...When you can eat a whole bag of the microwave stuff for less than 200 calories, you're definitely not hurting anything.0

Me too!! Guess what I had planned for supper tonight? Popcorn and a movie!! We do it weekly.0

I started buying the skinny pop in the 100 calorie bags instead of the costco size humungous one because it forces portion control...lol. Side note on the ice cream. Edy's (Dreyer's) Slow Churned Ice cream tastes exactly like regular ice cream. Super smooth and creamy and all the bonus of light ice cream

All the Edy's slow churned I saw had higher calorie counts? or am I missing something (I love slow churned)
what's the average count on those??
Or maybe I never buy them because they aren't on sale- there is a reason I haven't bought those- can't remember.
yes- slow churned- super nommy.0 -

Yep. And someone on a thread the other day peeked at my diary and called me out on it because I said that I could hit all my macros in my first 1200 calories of the day and eat 300 calories worth of ice cream if I wanted. Then I had to defend it ha!0 -

even if you don't hit your macros- so what. not a crisis. I can't even with those type of people.

I love this thread! I eat popcorn for dinner at least once a week, usually whenever my fiancee has practice - that way I don't have to share! Been having popcorn dinners since I was a little kid. My favorite 0
