Get a olive oil spritzer and fill it up with an infused flavor olive oil of your choice it works freaking great.
One spray usually is about 1/4 tsp of oil.0 -
I know this sounds really weird but I like to use a little bit of olive oil cooking spray and Nutritional food yeast (Big flakes) It is pretty tasty and I have the added delight of knowing I'm getting B vitamins0

Just remember that because butter is a fat, that doesn't mean it is unhealthy. There is a large difference between healthy and unhealthy fats. I love popcorn, eat it just about every night, probably shouldn't eat it quite that often but I eat it in moderation. I pop 1/4 cup of kernels in either canola (i know that this isn't real healthy) or olive oil. I put salt and butter on it. That amount of popcorn usually lasts 3-5 nights (my wife doesn't partake in it with me). I figure that a little bit of butter and salt spread out over a few days is not that unhealthy for me.
Does anyone agree or disagree with me? Because I am no nutritional expert.0 -
I sprinkle chili powder and sea salt and spritz lime juice.0

i use rosemary and salt but they actually have different flavored shakers you can buy for popcorn and they have no calories: bufallo, white cheddar and salt and vinegar are theones I have.0

oh, love the chili powder, sea salt, lime juice idea! Thanks!0

I like spicy...so chili powder! But really, experiment with spices that you know you like. Curry might be a good one too if you like curry.0

I use hot sauce. Just don't put TOO much on. I've made that mistake many times before.0

Garlic salt on popcorn is amazing. If you're one of those people who are careful about watching their sodium, then try just garlic powder. It tastes so good; trust me. But I guess you have to like garlic for you to like such a thing, lol.0

They sell flavor shakers in the popcorn section . I believe they are 0 calories. like cheddar cheese, nacho cheese.
I have used those, they do a pretty good job for cheese popcorn, Im pretty sure they are like 5 calories and not zero, but pretty close to nothing....0 -

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:
One word answer: SALT0 -
drizzle honey on it. get some farmers market local honey if u can....... 64 calories a tsp will sweeten alot of popcorn. its sticky, but dang its good0
