1 Tbsp canola or olive oil
Mrs Dash table blend seasoning
sea or table salt
3 Tbsp unpopped white or yellow popcorn
2 tsp Kraft grated parmesan cheese (powdered type)

In a heavy saucepan with tight fitting lid, mix together the oil, seasonings and unpopped corn. Put the lid on and heat over medium-high heat, shaking pan occasionally. When the corn starts to pop, lower heat to medium and keep shaking pan till all popping stops. Dump popped corn into a large bowl.

Makes about 4.5 cups
250 Cals
26 carbs
17 fat
7 fiber

Although the fat count seems high for a snack, when you use canola or olive oil it's "good for you" fat and keep in mind it's MUCH better for you than eating the chemicals in Microwave popcorn!

You can try it with less oil to see if it works as well - since there are 14 grams of fat in the 1 Tbsp olive oil and it's lower in cals with less oil too :)
Mrs Dash table blend will taste sort of spicy due to it getting "toasted" during the popping but it coats the popcorn so nicely when done this way. You can put it on after it's popped but it won't "stick" to the popcorn as nicely.
