popcorn

Is popcorn safe to eat, I have had some bad experience with food and I am afraid to try the one in the bags, by Smartfoods.

    I like popcorn and chips but I'm holding out for nutrition...LOVE LOVE LOVE baked Kale chips. Tear fresh kale into large pieces (no stems), put on a cookie sheet, spray with oil, sprinkle with salt.

  • Pop corn is added fiber for me. I don't eat it often, and I can't eat much of it, but I still enjoy it. Popcorn is definitely not a slider food for me. Everyone is different. TMI: it helps me avoid

For me popcorn is a slider. I only will have it as a treat once in awhile, as it doesn't fill me up. But it goes down easy for me.

Popcorn is a slider for me as well. Ice cream, pudding, shakes - all aren't sliders, but popcorn is. If we get it at the movies (my fav!) I will eat 1/2 of the bucket. So lately I've been bringing almonds in baggie. Something crunchy that I can control the portion of. At home, I make it in an air popper (never use microwave - have you ever cut one of those bags open before cooking it? It's really gross!) and use real butter (not very much) and salt. Luv popcorn. I only eat it occasionally tho. It never really fills me up

I love popcorn and eat it regularly. I put regular kernels in a brown paper bag and microwave it. I top it with real melted butter and salt. Popcorn is my go to food when I need a boost of fiber.

I have popcorn almost every day. It gives me a good fiber kick plus fills me up.

Just don't try to eat the half popped kernels...

no probs for me

I was on my DR.'s foods to avoid list, haven't had it since being banded.

TMI: it helps me avoid constipation, so I continue to enjoy it sparingly.

It's a slider food for me too so I'm careful about how much I eat.

I get the 100 calorie smart pop bags. It's a great munchie food when the rest of my family is eating chips or some other junk food.

My doctor told me not to eat popcorn and besides that its one of those things that are hard to stop eating.

Air popped Japanese hulless popcorn is tasty and low calorie, and also a slider. Once in a while I have to have it, so I use the butter flavor nonstick spray, a bit of popcorn salt, and chipolte or habanero powder. It gets my crunchy salty spicy cravings out of the way without breaking the calorie bank.

I use the 100 cal popcorn just when my head wont shut up.

I air pop a bunch sometimes and measure it out into baggies for snack. Nothing added so its fairly low in calories and does have some Fiber as others have said.

Try a little and see how it goes. We are all different so always do what works for you.

The spray I use is calorie free, and the spices are also. Just don't use sugars or cheeses and you will be ok without the added calories. Lemon pepper is good too.

Popcorn is an ok snack for diabetics with type 2 in moderation and is also a whole grain food that has a slow sugar spike if any at all.

Bake at 350 for approx 20 min. They turn out light and crispy and melt in your mouth. The after taste reminds me of potato chips.

Better for you than popcorn!! Yum
