I LOVE POPCORN!!
I too make it on the stove with coconut oil (but I count it...the calories in oil aren't cheap, but the oil itself is EXTREMELY healthy for you). The idea of paperbag in the microwave is brilliant and I am definitely going to try it.
Keep on with the popcorn if it helps keep you on track. It's definitely one of the better choices for a savoury snack out there.

I was going to say the exact same thing! Look out for GMO corn... or anything GMO.0

Air popcorn ...so good. Of helps with my mindless must eat feeling.
I like a little powered sugar or parmesan cheese. Even toss mini chocolate chips in when still warm.
Mmm....
Good good.0 -

You can get a container of plain popping kernels and do it in the microwave yourself. Just use a brown paper bag and put about 3 tbsp of kernels in there, fold over the top, and microwave 2:30 to 3:00 until it's done but not burnt. It makes a big bag of it, and it's only 120 calories.0

I love my air popper, though it is a bit loud. I have all those popcorn sprinkle seasoning and they only add 5 calories for my whole bowl. Awesome snack!0

complete empty calories! Snack on fruit or possibly dark chocolate...a little bit goes a long way0

I snack on popcorn most days! Prepackaged ones though.0

Other toppings:
garlic salt + rosemary
taco seasoning mix
Personally I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to sprinkle on some Hidden Valley Ranch Buttermilk seasoning mix
Never thought of these! Very smart!
A little Cayenne pepper is really good, makes a nice spicy treat!
I dip mine in Tapatio or Siracha as well.
I'm a little addicted to heat.
When I feel like sweet tho I use some cinnamon sugar0 -
I think popcorn is great—especially if you pop bulk kernels instead of those bags with yucky chemicals. I actually put 1/4 cup in a paper bag, fold the top two times, put upright in the microwave for 3 min until it stops, and voila!
I don't used butter spray—I just melt a 1/2 tbsp butter and pour it over with a little salt. Last week I used olive oil spray instead and added pepper—tasted just like salt and pepper chips!!!
I think it is a good whole grain snack, and actually has a lot of benefits including antioxidants. Might not be lots of protein, so make sure you're filling that gap with other things. But as far as 100 cal snacks go, it's a good choice!
I had no idea you could pop your own popcorn in a paper bag! :drinker:0 -
