Is Popcorn Healthy? What Experts Say About Popcorn’s Nutritional Value
It might seem convenient, but microwave popcorn can be laden with fat and sodium, and there’s a wide variation as far as what brands contain. “Some brands have as much as 10 grams of fat for 2 cups, which is enormous for one serving,” says Cohen. “That’s about the same amount as what’s in potato chips.” If you do choose the microwaveable types, read the label and aim for brands with sodium at less than 200 mg per serving and the fewest number of fat grams you can find .
And though it probably goes without saying, limit your portions of kettle corn and caramel corn, which have tons of added sugar. If you want to indulge, measure out one serving and pour it into a bowl; otherwise, it’s too easy to keep dipping your hand into the bag! Finally, movie theater popcorn is the worst of the worst: A small bag typically has about 1000 calories and a jaw-dropping 40 grams of fat, says Cohen.
