It is so weird but I need it!!!
Have successfully lost regardless as I've cut out so many other carbs but I feel a primordial draw to the popcorn!

    I don't think about carbs but I love me some popcorn. A huge bowl fits into my day so easily. I was splitting it with my boyfriend the other night and he asked "So...when I'm not here, you eat this all..by yourself?" Why yes I do.

    My sister eats a whole bag at a time as a meal, and she tracks with MFP as well.

    It's a grain, right? So, it's either an awesome tool to help you eat a balanced diet, or it's the devil >:) . It depends who you ask.

    I used to eat at least 10 snack packs a day, everyday :open_mouth:
    I love the stuff.... Too much!

    Popcorn is my Kryptonite!! Because my body doesn't like it yet I have a compulsion to eat it to excess!! So I avoid the movies, because the smell sets the whole thing in motion! Hubby is also not allowed to make it when I am home!

    If I say there is one food addiction it is popcorn. And I say the word addiction in humor because everyone will clamp down on that word "addiction"..

    I have tried 50 different popcorns. My new go to is Skinny Pop Naturally Sweet (ready to eat out of the bag). Nom Nom Nom Nom.

    I own this (mine is 8 years old now)... So you know I am serious about my popcorn...

    Same here. Popcorn is my go-to when I need an extra 150 or so calories. I do mine air popped in the microwave plain. My microwave is broke now though so it's been a few days for me.

    I love popcorn! I get ridiculous cravings for it if I go too long without having any!

    Bahaha. I ate most of it too. I remember his face when he looked at that bowl and thought of the times I told him over the phone "I'm eating a lot of popcorn"...It clicked. lol.

    HA HA HA HA HA that's hysterical- I like it when mine tries to make me some for me and I'm like "that's it" and then he sees me make and has the same expression "all of that?!?!?!" LOL

    I usually do like 3 tablespoons of kernals? ish- I don't weigh them- but I know it's 2-300 calories worht- it winds up being a lot- how I don't have epic long constitutionals I have no idea- my popcorn consumption is a little absurd. I should take a picture LMAO.

    lolol. Yeah, I have about 300 calories worth and it takes up a huge metal mixing bowl.

    By the way, I saw you mention that turkey hill moose tracks ice cream on another thread and have been eating it this week. Not bad.

    I started putting mine in the giant spaghetti making pot- my metal mixing bowl isn't big enough <shame face>

    yeah- it gets the job done- it lacks that smooth creamy quality of other ice creams- but for 120 calories per serving- it totally hits the spot. plus - chucnks of mini peanut butter cups- and that fudge ribbon in there? GIVE IT TO ME BABY

    (being said- don't let it freezer burn- that sh1t is THE WORST)

    Yaya. Not as creamy but the chocolate bits are just as good and 120 is a great calorie count. I like.

    There are much worse things...When you can eat a whole bag of the microwave stuff for less than 200 calories, you're definitely not hurting anything.
