I can't stand a day without popcorn. But I think I overdo it.

I don't do it on a regular basis but it is one of the few carbs I allow

myself. I got a 4 pack of microwave popcorn and it took me like 9 weeks

to finish all 4.

Once in a while, but not every day -- popcorn IS a white carb, more or

less.

I eat popcorn as an evening snack quite often. I put 1/4 cup plain

kernels in a microwave popcorn bowl (you can buy them in Target and

places like that), nuke for 2.5 minutes, and it's perfect. I add a

bit of Pam so the salt will stick, but I suspect I'm using less fat

and salt than the packaged microwave popcorn and it's a lot

cheaper. I've even snuck this into the movies, just bring a tote

bag in lieu of a smaller purse.

I have popcorn occasionally as a snack - it fills me up pretty quick and I

really like it. I used to love kettle corn but figured it was off limits

now because of the sugar. Then I looked up the nutrition information on

several brands of microwave kettle corn and was really surprised to see

that the amount of carbs and sugar was low - less than 1g per cup for some

(a friend of mine said several of the microwave brands use splenda instead

of sugar). So I figure I can indulge in a bit of that once in a while. )

Sally, I didn't know that. I usually just go right by the kettlecorn

because I know its very sweet, but I'll have to read a few labels to

see if I can find one of those with Splenda. Anyone know of a brand

name that has kettle corn with splenda? I used to love going to

Fairs in the summer time and getting fresh kettle corn!
