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! |

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.
