Should I eat popcorn again?
 

So... for the past 2 nights, I've had 300 calories left at the end of the night and for my snack, I've chosen popcorn. It's the redenbacher smart pop 94% fat free kettle corn kind, but it's not the 100 calorie packs, it's the whole pack which is 2 servings of 140 cals.. so 280. Tonight I have the calories left over and I'm craving popcorn again. For some reason, it feels like cheating even though it's within my limit.

When I think about it logically, I know there's no problem fitting the popcorn in... Does anyone else see an issue with it? I need an outside perspective.

You may have some water retention with the salt, and popcorn isn't packed with nutrients, but if you are getting what you need nutritionally from the rest of your day, I don't see a problem with enjoying the popcorn.

hehe I think I just needed the validation. Thank you :)

I've been eating popcorn too, just last night but It's so low cal

I love popcorn too! It feels nice to have a big bowl of something that I can stuff in my face, without getting off plan! :devil:

I'm shaing a big bowl of air popped popcorn right now with hubby! lol

I eat a bag every night at work..

I`d definitely keep eating it. You have the calories left over, you enjoy popcorn, and it`s a low-fat snack. I don`t see the harm.

I`m doing a big grocery order and I`ve included the 100 calorie bags of SmartPop. Normally I try to avoid popcorn because it`s so loaded with fat and because I know that if I have one of the large bags I`ll eat the whole thing. I don`t have an airpopper, but even if I did I can`t stomach just plain popcorn either. I figure the small bags will be doable.

What I`m waiting for is for someone to invent popcorn that can`t get stuck in your teeth and imbedded in your gums.
