Why am I so confused? I'm not new to calorie counting or mfp... Is this just sticker shock? One bag is seriously 650 calories? How is that skinny?

Looks to me like one bag is 375 calories.6

I don’t think 375 is very skinny either 😐
I don’t eat much popcorn so I’d have to look up another brand to compare it to, but personally, I’ll spend my calories elsewhere. 😊3 -
I think it's 157.5 cals. Each popped cup is 30 cals. Each bag has 5.25 cups. So you times 30x5.25=157.51

375 is 2.5 servings, and about 13 cups, it appears, so that's a lot of popcorn.
That said, it appears to be just about the same number of cals as any plain popcorn or popcorn with just salt. Adding butter or oil would of course increase the cals.
I love popcorn, and think the cals in popcorn in general are reasonable for the serving size.2 -
Nevermind! I'm wrong. Those labels are so confusing. I think it's 375 cals too cause if it's 2.5 servings per bag times 150 cals - 375, cause lets be honest, you're not going to share it!0

It's a lot of popcorn though...13 cups of popped pop corn is a lot of corn.5 -

That is true, but I have learned that corn no longer agrees with me as I’ve gotten older, so eating 13 cups of it would probably be a bad idea for me. 😜0 -

I love popcorn, but I probably wouldn't feel that great if I sat down to 13 cups of it by myself. Definitely would be bloated from all of the fiber in one sitting.2 -

Mostly air anyways.. more or less equivalent to small movie popcorn.0 -

Pretty much what my wife and I would share.1 -
I always share the small movie popcorn too. (Well, back when we used to go to movies in the theater!)0

Me and Skinnypop Kettle Corn got a thing going on. This seemed like a safe place for me to say that.7

Popcorn nutrition labels are pretty confusing to me as well. For lower calorie popcorn options, I like Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop and Act II 94% fat free popcorn. The OR popcorn comes in smaller portioned bags as well, and both are about 15 calories per cup rather than 30.1
-
^^ This! But then I pour a tbsp of lactose-free butter and sprinkle another tbsp of nutritional yeast so...1

Home made on the stove top with Pam is better and 38g has 120 calories.1

The SkinnyPop seems to have the same number of cals as regular air-popped popcorn (about 30 cal per cup).
The OR Smart Pop brand mentioned seems to have fewer cals than just plain old popcorn, which is interesting. I don't mind the cals in regular popcorn, but may need to try it to compare.1 -
Skinnypop has 150 calories per ounce. Popped at home airpop, and stove top without oil has 85 calories per ounce.2
-
Orville's smart pop snack size bag is 100 calories and the best - just right!1
