I shared a bag of Target popcorn with my girls today, and I'm guessing how much I ate. Probably about a third to half of the bag. I logged half a bag and MFP says that's 600 calories. Holy moly! That can't be right, can it? A whole bag would be 1,200 cals! I used to think that was a light snack. There wasn't any butter on it for pete's sake

    That's interesting about the calories in Target's FC popcorn. Ordinarily popcorn is about 100 cals for a cup or so - ie, 2 tblspns of popcorn = 100 cals of popped popcorn.

    I can't imagine what they would use on it to make it so incredibly high in cals!
