Need some information
 

Can anyone give me some of the points for popular brands of microwave popcorn? For some reason I'm having a "senior moment" when I read the nutrition labels! I thought there used to be one post that listed a whole bunch of them but I can't find it.

Thanks!

I will have to do further research on HEALTHY CHOICE and ACTII.

THANK YOU LISSA!

Land O Lakes Light Butter Flavor; Snack Size Bag
(1 bag yields 6 cups popped @ 120 cal/6g fat/3g fiber)
1-2-3 Success/The 10% Difference: 2 Points
Winning Points: 2 Points

As for the fiber, it states that it contains less than 1g per 1 cup popped. I counted it as .5g per cup
which gives 3g fiber per bag.

This actually calculates out to 2.3 points per bag using Dotti's calculator set to "Exact Points"
mode. If you set it to "Half Points" mode, it comes out to 2.5 points. Using the "Whole Points"
mode gives the 2 points.

AMC Theatre Popcorn - Thank you Michelle (she wrote the company for the
nutritional info and is still waiting for a response from Regal Cinemas.

(per serving - 225 cal/11 g fat/3 g fiber/26 g carbs) 5 Points

Large Popcorn, 3 servings per container

(Per container - 664 cal/31 g fat/9 g fiber/75 g carbs) 13.5 Points (14.5 Winning
Points)

(per serving - 225 cal/11 g fat/3 g fiber/26 g carbs) 5 Points
