I am trying really hard to break my old ways, but sometimes I just want to munch.

Is Light Popcorn ok?

Also - What do you guys eat at the movies (if anything)? My old Milk Duds aint gonna get it done for me anymore!

i bought the microwave small bags of popcorn. 100 calories in the whole bag. My Dr said it might be a "problem" food, I havent had any problems though. I love popcorn

I too love popcorn but dont have it too much. I have no problems with it at all. I did also find the snack packs of micro popcorn are just great at home for when I need that popcorn fix. I sneak in water to the theater. If my husband is not going to have popcorn, I will get a childs popcorn and he will drink the soda and take the treat. Its a win/win.

So funny,

I'm eating popcorn right this minute, and boyyyyyyyyy is it goooooood. LOL

I really like the light microwave popcorn. I wouldn't say I eat it all the time, but I eat it when I feel the urge.

I don't go to the movies a lot, but when I do I get the popcorn there. I try desperately not to think about how high in fat it is and just enjoy the treat.

I haven't had a problem with keeping it down or having it irritate anything.

My favorite used to be Orville Smart Pop Kettle Corn - it's 97% FF...I have been a chicken and haven't tried popcorn since my surgery. I'll have to do that soon. It sounds so good!

Going to the movies has always been synonymous with popcorn and candy! I used to leave the theatre feeling sick. Now I force myself to remember how I feel after eating the theatre's popcorn. It smells great, but I feel better if I bring in a frozen, flavored Vitamin Water, my dinner, or fruit and yogurt. Luckily, our AMC allows outside food!

At home, the small micro packs are great. They aren't laden with fat to make me sick, the kernels are lighter and it goes down okay.

Cant you just buy bags of popping corn? Just the kernels, they're like 50c per bag here. Take some, put it in a microwave container with a lid and zap it in the microwave for 2 or 3 minutes - instant popcorn. Sprinkle with a bit of salt if you want to.

Much better (and cheaper) than those microwave bags, covered in chemical flavours. And healthy and fat free.

I do this for the kids afterschool all the time. Its way better than chips or bikkies.

I dont eat at the movies, its a habit I broke long ago - and I dont let the kids either becuase it costs a bleeding FORTUNE but I do often take a coffee in and the kids take Water.

I love popcorn and my band and it get along well. I use the microwave snack size bags at work and at home I make it in my airpopper.

I'm old enough to remember my mom making pop corn in a pot with a lid. Thats how I learned to make it. However, now I just usually buy the microwave stuff - unless I make popcorn balls for Halloween. (Wow haven't done that in a while either! lol)

My mother in law just until last (Yule/Christmas) was still making popcorn in a pot with lid we got them a micro-wave oven She loves it

I LOVE POPCORN!

I eat it all the time esp. at the movies!

Nana~

I eat popcorn, it has lots of fiber in it!

popcorn is the only thing besides yogurt that hasn't caused me pain! I love it as a snack. Its filling, low fat and yummy!!

I enjoy the Smart Choice 100 calorie pack of popcorn when I get the occasional desire to have pepcorn. It goes down fine and the one small bag satisfies my desire. I don't get a chance to see movies with work and school but Water and a 100 cal snack pack sounds good.

I have been known to pop some light microwave popcorn at home and carry it into the movies in an oversized purse.

Speaking of popcorn, is it the same in America when you buy popcorn at the movies? Like you want to buy a small popcorn for your kids and they charge what seems like $15 for it, then they say, but it will be cheaper if you get the superduper large AND a bucket of coke AND a choctop icecream, all for $12.95, but no we wont give you a few containers so your kids can share it, you have to buy the super movie deal for all 3 of them, so before you know it, you've spent $50 at the snackbar, and have to carry 5 kilograms of popcorn, 3 buckets of coke and 3 ice creams that you didnt want, all to avoid paying $15 for one small popcorn?

That really DRIVES ME ISANE!!! And no wonder all our kids are becoming obese.

Sorry for the rant, lol, but I just wondered if this was a peculiar Australian custom or whether they do it the world over. I buy stuff in the supermarket and take it in now, they recently made a rule that you couldnt do that and had to change it back again because people stopped buying alltogether.
