    Love the suggestions. Just got 2 new ones, on line - Cabela's - CARMEL APPLE 10 calories per teaspoon and Urban Accents (from World Markets) Popcorn seasoning (Buttery CARMEL CORN) - 1/4 teaspoon = 0 calories. Haven't tried them yet, but have them on hand for my next "snack attack".

    I spray mine with butter PAM nad then shake it in a ziploc baggie with Taco seasoning. If I really want to go wild I add cheese on top. The other way is less calories though.:smile:

    I pop my popcorn in a brown paper bag in the microwave! It really does work! I actually splash some water on it and put on salt and pepper.

    I like using a little bit of chile powder. Not enough to make it spicy, but enough to give it a little flavor.

    My family likes to eat seasoning salt or dry ranch dressing with a little parmesan cheese. There are several different types of popcorn seasonings that can be found usually right around the popcorn in the store. Some of the flavors that I can remember are sour cream and onion and white cheddar. Hope this helps a little!

    You can put away the air popper and just use the microwave and a brown paper bag. Put an 1/8 cup kernels in a brown paper bag (like a lunch bag), fold the top twice over and use the Popcorn button on your microwave. Does the same thing the air popper does.

    for seasoning, my fave is using a Misto Olive Oil spritzer with fresh cracked black pepper and sea salt. The oil adds a few calories but with the mister, it's very minimal.

    When bored with salt and pepper, I just raid the spice cabinet and use any sort of blend that catches my eye.

    I usually use cheese flavored popcorn salt. Some of you have some really good ideas though. I'm going to have to try Mrs Dash.

    I use cooking spray to dampen the popcorn and then sprinkle on fajita seasoning or taco seasoning-any kind of spice packet thingy-or butter buds. A few extra calories, but lotta flavor for just a few cals.

    I've got an air-popper (you know, you put the kernals in and they come out as popcorn!) but I find after a couple of mouthfuls I'm just bored with eating it. Good in a way, but if I've specially mad a healthy snack I'd like to eat it!:bigsmile:

    Anyone have any ideas for adding flavour (savoury preferred) without piling on loads of calories? I asked this question on another forum (not diet-related) and all people came up with was adding loads of butter/oil, or cheese, or chocolate, or sugar........

    And if I could portion it into ziplock bags without it going bleugh I could take it to work:glasses:

    I use this paperica lime lemon seasoning. It is yummy and no calories.

    I sometimes melt a little bit of coconut oil and add a pack of stevia and mix it with a small pinch of sea salt, adds just a few extra calories, but tastes almost like a fully loaded sweet kettle style pop corn
