    Nutritional yeast. Tastes just like cheese its basically and it's mainly fiber and protein!!! :smiley:

    Also stevia and cinnamon is good!

    ^^ These are actually my 2 faves. And I highly recommend getting a Misto (or using any store bought spray oil)! It helps any seasonings stick and the uses so little oil it's less than 5 calories

    Get this stuff called "Kernel Seasons" that they sell in the popcorn section. It's pretty much just powdered cheese but there are a ton of flavors. It's only 5 calories per 1/4 tsp which isn't much but I still only use maybe 3 servings on a giant bowl of popcorn. 15 calories to make my popcorn into cheese popcorn? Heck yes!

    This! I love this stuff.

    I just bought an oil mister so I am going to try that and maybe some salt or seasoning. I don't know if I can eat anything called nutritional yeast. :)

    Do you have a Kernel Seasons shaker that states only 5 calories per 1/4 tsp? The only reason I ask is because my local stores don't carry it, but I was getting ready to order online. I visited the Kernel Seasons website and they list nothing less than 80 cals per 1/4 tsp for any of their products.

    I am really interested if your shaker has a different value ... I so hope it is 5 calories :)

    I just looked at my container and actually I was wrong. It's only 2 calories per 1/4 tsp! Whatever you are looking at must be some kind of error! Look it up on the MFP database, all the flavors say 2 calories. It's basically nothing calorie-wise, get some! Also try it on scrambeled eggs :)

    the site shows that its 2 calories as well.. just was looking at it since i think i need to invest!

    My solution: Ditch the crappy air popper. Pop the corn in a pot on the stove in coconut oil. Put olive oil, garlic and Parmesan cheese on it. That is my favorite (hangover) snack.

    I add ground Rosemary and nutritional yeast to mine. The nutritional yeast adds a nutty cheesy flavor

    I make huge bowls of popcorn for movies at home (to feed 3-4 people). I use about 2 T. melted Kerrygold butter and several shakes of salt. I wouldn't mess with this combo for all the world. :)

    I eat a lot of popcorn so here are some of my favorites:

    Franks red hot (I find the acidic flavor really satisfying)
    Balsamic vinegar/reduction (acidic like above)
    a little powdered sugar and cinnamon (can also use powdered stevia etc)
    nutritional yeast
    chili pepper (with a spritz of lime if you want)
    Popcorn flavorings from the store add a lot and aren't too many calories
    Parmesan cheese and chives
    Garlic powder and chives

    Almost any spice mixes will taste great:
    Italian seasoning
    Garam Masala
    Taco seasoning

    So interesting that someone made this thread. I was thinking about it last night. I eat popcorn everynight. I pop mine in a microwave popper, although I do like the idea of popping it on the stove in coconut oil.
    I usually add 1 tsp of olive oil, kosher salt, granulated garlic and cayenne. Lately, I just add the EVOO, hot sauce and a little bit of salt. I also do cinnamon, stevia and a little salt.
    I will try the nutritional yeast also. Thanks for the ideas

    Either with pepper and light salt OR I eat a piece of cheese or a piece of dark chocolate with it. (I recommend the second idea!)
