Is popcorn every night before bed bad for weightloss?

It fits in my calories, but I read somewhere carbs before bed would be stored as fat. Popcorn fills me up and prevents me from snacking on chips or ice cream

Go right ahead! It doesn't matter what time you eat it, your body is smart enough to know what to do with it. Enjoy it with no worries!

Well I lost a few lbs eating ice cream every night (within my calorie allowance), so what you heard about carbs is wrong.

Some people purposely carb backload (eat the majority of their carbs at night) while dieting. If it works for you, go for it. I used to eat a LOT of popcorn late at night as well.

As long as you hit your target you should be good!!!! However when I wanna lose 5 -8lbs I don't consume carbs at night and I get leaner faster in a couple of weeks, but that's if its for a special occasion. I eat for health so I eat carbs whenever.

Weight loss is about calories not type of food or timing.
Enjoy your popcorn!

Add me to eat popcorn every night crew. My wife and I share a huge bowl after dinner. Very filling and takes a long time to eat. Just keep in within your calorie goals and you're set.

I eat popcorn too ! Love me some popcorn!

and when I am actually in bed, I eat some chocolate covered peanuts.. Its now one of those nightly habits I have and swear I cannot sleep until I eat the chocolate... maybe that is my new sleeping pill. LOL

It better not be, because I eat it everyday. But I still love to snack on chips and ice cream too.

Popcorn can be tough on your digestive system. Just be careful...

You're welcome to look at my diary; You'll see that I eat popcorn every single night, without fail. I look forward to it all day. Tonight it was dinner.

You can eat whenever you want. The time of day won't matter if you are not going over your calorie needs.

I eat popcorn every night! I just prelog it and fit the rest of my day in. I've lost 21 pounds so far, so no problem there. Enjoy!

Plus, popcorn is a fantastic source of whole grain fiber.

I've been eating popcorn by the buckets, sometimes a half hour before I go to bed. I've lost 88lbs since Oct.

The bolded is objectively false. IOW, you're fine.

I unfortunately read the same thing years ago and always believed it as well. Lucky for us, it's not true. Enjoy your popcorn.

i eat every night a huge bowl of popcorn since 604 days.

lost my 130lbs pound in 400 days and now for 204 days maintaining fine


too much calories above maintenance level is bad for weight loss.

I definitely do smart pop kettle corn 100 calorie bags (1-3) of them depending on calories, drizzle SF maple syrup and SF chocolate sauce on top and it fills me up, is very high Volume and good fiber and I believe saves me from binges

As long as you're below maintenance you'll be fine. Preferable avoid high glycemic carbs though, since they're generally converted into fat in the liver then stored in the body. Plus insulin spikes before bed.
