CHOOSE YOUR DIET POPCORN WELL

Popcorn is widely considered a healthy snack choice and can be a preferred snack for dieters. But that bag of corn can really pop your diet if it's packed with more butter than "turkey has greece (grease!)" .  

To ensure that you are getting your healthy diet advantage of popcorn, always check the nutrition panels on popcorn packages before your point of purchase.

Even if the box is labeled, " LIGHT" or " LITE" or " LOW FAT" doesn't mean that it's nutrition friendly.

Take a moment to look at the calorie and fat content. Some of the light versions actually contain about as many calories as the full blown versions.

If you desire a buttery batch, without all the calories and fat, then  pop the bag in the microwave then add a good Tablespoon or more of warmed-up no calorie butter spray.

Per bag the extra butter flavored popcorn can contain almost 500 calories. Light versions are the way to go when trying to drop pounds and cut fat grams - but again check the nutrition label.

Hot air popped corn is a fantastic method to keep calories low in popcorn while enjoying the delicious flavor of popcorn.
