Evil Yummy Popcorn Rant: Are they trying to make us overweig

mareowner

Was it denial that made me believe a bag of popcorn was only 170 calories? I kept thinking this can't be right so I studied the nutrition label for the 4th time even googled it twice without it luck. The label says

Nutrition Facts
Serving Size about 3.5 cups popped (33g unpopped)
Servings Per Container about 3

There are 3 bags in a box. What they mean is 3*170calories/ bag= 510calories/bag!!!!

I just had 340 calories per day more than expected. Are there similar confusing labels on other food or is popcorn the only one?

If you love popcorn and don't want to give it up, I suggest getting an air popper. It's super easy to know how much you're eating then because you just buy the kernels and measure the calories out that way. That way there's no guessing!
