Popcorn--why stay away???

[happy2bthin 0]

Hello,

A friend of mine just got a band and her doc told her to stay clear of popcorn? Anyone know why?

Its dry and can get stuck. Some bandsters eat it with no trouble, but I've stayed away from it. I don't think its a very good choice of food to try and eat.

I eat popcorn when the mood strikes me. I buy the low fat microwave kind and spray zero calorie "butter" on it. Sometimes it goes down fine and sometimes not.

True...it is a problem with some as far as getting stuck. And, since you can't eat that much to begin with why would you want to fill up on empty calories and something that gives your body no nutritional benefit? Stick with food choices that will benefit your body, and eat your Protein first.

I occasionally have popcorn when we go to the movies at night. Just have to make sure to chew chew chew. I love the fact that I used to be able to down a large popcorn at the movies alone and now I can't even eat half of a children's size lol.

I have the 100 calorie bags at least once a week with my daughter. So I actually get about 40 or so calories. That is one of the few Snacks that I have. I think it's a good choice, 40 calories, very little fat and I am filled up and not continuing to snack. We usally watch a movie and share a bog od popcorn on at least one weekend night. It's better for me than chips, or candy. ~Mandy

My son usually pops a bag on our family fun nights. It smells super yummy and I treat myself to a small handful. But if I am not careful to chew really well, I am in for trouble.

I have chosen to not give it a try...I don't want to take the chance of it getting stuck. I love to smell it, though!!

Per my doc...there is really no nutritional value to it. It's empty carbs and calories. I don't eat it any more.
