I've been counting the 100 calorie mini bags as 1 pt because thats what the WW online thing said.

What about popcorn that is air popped with just a teaspoon of oil. I had 3 or 4 cups of it and I don't know how to count it. I used a 1/3 cup of popcorn, 1 tsp. of canola oil and it made about 8 cups. Any advice?


Thanks!

I was told all 94% was 2 points.

Where did you get this info?

[violettfem]

WW eTools says OR 94% is 2 points for 7 3/4 cups. Isn't that a bag?

[QUOTE=modkittn;1845649]Hey guys - I just saw a video on CNN about a chemical used for flavoring in microwave popcorn that is toxic in large amounts. Nothing firm about in small amounts (like when you are popping it in your microwave). Now, I'm assuming that they don't use this in "all natural" microwave popcorn, but I really don't know. Anyway, you might want to take a look. I know they said one company has already gotten rid of using it, but others haven't.



That chemical diacetyl is not in Orville Redenbacher Organic Butter 94% Fat Free.

Thank goodness!

hey i dont know if anyone has asked this.

I just bout the individual bags of orville redenbachers 94% fat free (1.2 oz) Kettle Korn. How many points is the whole bag? 2? (since it is individual bags)

ppturner: I asked my leader this question, her answer was,

air popped popcorn is 1 pt (for about 5 cups popped)

if you use 1tsp oil, add 1 pt

= 2 pts total

I am just starting to try Weight Watchers again. It worked very well for me once, I lost nearly 40 pounds, but I went off the diet and reverted to my poor eating habits. Unfortunately, I gained all the weight back and then some. I was looking through this forum and noticed that there is some great info on point values and as I am going to the movies tonight, I was very happy to see that AMC small popcorn is only 5 pts. After a little searching around on the web, I found the points value for the butter topping and thought I would share. 1tbsp is 130cal and 14g fat, 4 pts. Most theaters have the customer operated dispensers so taking in a measuring spoon and pointing out some topping shouldn't be a big problem if you think the points are worth it.

Yep, you'd think popcorn would be easier to calculate, lol.

Popcorn points have changed over the years, due to manufacturers using healthier oils, smaller bag size, etc, so we should check the bags for nutritional content instead of looking here for reliable info.

I just went on the weight watchers tracker and looked up popcorn 94% FF for 5 cups is 1 point. At least according to the tracker. I also used my slide to figure out the OR 100calorie packs 100/2/4 equals to 1 point too.
