    I pop my popcorn in a kettle with coconut oil....I do about 1/2 cup popcorn to 2 Tbsp coconut oil. It generally serves 4 at around 150 calories per. I salt it as far as toppings go. I'm not really sure what you mean by toppings though....

    Also, if it's a good movie I'm just eating that whole thing...or at least half.

    Popcorn is awesome :) and by toppings I mean alternatives to butter. Spices, as some people have suggested.

    Air popper, melted real butter, House of Tsang's mongolian fire oil, and nutritional yeast. Certainly not diet food, but delicious!!

    Regular unbuttered microwave popcorn (usually a 100-calorie pack since it's just me), Old Bay seasoning.

    My work sells flavor infused sea salts, which I LOVE on top of popcorn. I'm actually going to buy some tonight I think, to help with my evening snacking.
    They have a chili-sea-salt, and a lavender infused salt which are my favourites.

    Since I eat a whole-foods plant-based diet, I avoid the added fats by air popping it. In order to get the salt and spices to adhere to the popcorn better, I grind it into a dust in a coffee grinder, and the smaller particles stick to the popcorn much better. I use a variety of spices, but one of my favorites is two parts salt, two parts nutritional yeast, one part garlic powder. I make the seasoning in bulk and keep a shaker-full around for whenever I have popcorn.

    Going oil/fat-free has the benefit of keeping popcorn a low calorie snack.

    Kernel Seasons has a large line of flavored popcorn seasonings.

    I threw a birthday party for my 7 year old and bought a lot of them for a variety of flavors for the popcorn I served. In my cupboard we currently have ranch, nacho cheddar, white cheddar, bacon cheddar, chocolate caramel, and cheesy jalapeno.

    ETA: I forgot to mention that they're all under 5 calories a serving.
