I counted it as .5g per cup which gives 3g fiber per bag. This actually calculates out to 2.3 points per bag using Dotti's calculator set to "Exact Points" mode. If you set it to "Half Points" mode, it comes out to 2.5 points. Using the "Whole Points" mode gives the 2 points.

Do I feel like a fool! I read the box and it said 3 - 3.5 cups popcorn. I

read that as 3.5 cups when popped... It looked like more.. but it said 3.5

cups popped! Well I was a fool and I measured today... and it was 11 cups

when popped... Instead of having a TON of extra points, I used them all

today. LOL I feel like such a fool... ( this is only my second week OP)

Oh well. I never went over my points.. and I still have banked points since

I only eat Popcorn twice a week.. AT least I know now...cause it was not

light popcorn and it cost me 12 points today...

And I can laugh at myself for being so silly!!!
