Popcorn! 3 cups popped is only 90 calories(ish depending on what brand/flavor) and it just seems like SO much lol and its crunch and salty, two things I love, great replacement for potato chips!

    You can have an entire bag of 7 cups of Jolly Time 94% Fat Free for 106 calories +/-. I "spice" it up using Pam and adding zesty season salt. Yum!

    I love popcorn! it is my favorite snack! Mine is more calories because I prefer oil popped and butter. But I plan for it and save the calories so I know I can enjoy it with a movie at home when I want to have it.

    I like to just make mine in a pot on the stove. Use enough olive oil or equivalent to cover the bottom and then add enough loose kernals to cover the bottom of the pot as well. As the oil gets hot the corn starts to pop. Once it starts to pop though you need to shake the pot back and forth to prevent burning. I think this is better than the kind you buy in a bag. Then you can control salt content, etc. :bigsmile:

    Thanks Supermom1114. I was in need of a low-cal snack idea, and popcorn is perfect.

    Any more great low-cal snack ideas lurking out there?
