    Microplaned parmesan or pecorino (super salt kick), or a little melted butter with a squirt of sriracha when I'm in the mood for something spicy.

    I just use less butter. 1.2 tablespoon is only 55 calories and nothing really takes it's place. It is plenty to flavor 3 tablespoons worth of kernels which results in about 5 cups. My go to seasoning is either cajun spice or a little brown sugar and cinnamon.

    I use Buffalo Wing Sauce (and a small sprinkle Cheddar seasoning). Most brands of Buffalo Wing Sauce have 0 calories and it adds a great punch! I'll have to try Tobasco like another poster mentioned but I'm not sure my buds can handle the heat ;-)

    I use an air popper and put a tiny bit of cooking spray and some Gold Medal Prod. 2045 Flavacol Seasoning Popcorn Salt. It tastes like movie theater popcorn. So good!

    I use Frank's hot sauce on popcorn. 0 calories, and I love spicy food :)

    Nutritional yeast flakes and a bit of salt. Two tbsp has about 60 cals, though it is full of B vitamins and has about 9 grams of complete protein and a some fibre as well. It tastes a little cheesy/nutty. Hard to describe, but I like it as a popcorn topping.

    This!

    I really like balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, cayenne, or black pepper.

    Kernel Seasons. Comes in lots of varieties and about 2 calories a tsp. you may want to use some ICBINB spray before, so it sticks.

    I don't make air popped popcorn. I pop mine in a little peanut oil and Lawry's seasoned salt. Sometimes I add black pepper or ceyenne.

    Stove top for me with Olive Oil and salt. ~300 calories for a big bowl ( 60 g).

    Be careful with spray butters--they do have calories.

    That's how I do it too, although we usually add some black pepper, garlic salt, and parm cheese crumbles to it as well.

    I've heard this is pretty awesome.



    I like cracked black pepper/parm combo

    I put about 1.5 tbl of butter on a 16 cup bowl of popcorn (made for the whole family LOL). It's not that many calories when spread out among 5 people and tastes delicious.
