So, I've been making my own 100 calorie popcorn because the ones you can buy are pretty pricy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but two tablespoons of un-popped popcorn kernels are around 90 calories, so that leaves me 10 for toppings. I've been loving lemon juice, salt and oregano, but it's getting boring. If you guys like any toppings around 10 calories (or less), let me know!

    My favorite is parmesan cheese. It is 22 cals per tablespoon, but you do get 2 grams of protein, and it sticks really well to the hot popcorn. Add garlic salt and pepper - yum!

    Hot sauce. Tabasco will do, but the ones in the Mexican section will be better.

    chili powder or nutritional yeast (tastes a lot like cheese)

    this is interesting! I eat a lot of popcorn and have never used anything besides salt on it. I may try some of these out since i'm trying to cut down on salt intake :-)

    Nutritional Yeast (a vegan favorite) is YUM and gives it a cheezy flavor and is good for you!
