Mellifluous Mel 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Smartfood popcorn is extremely high in fat, and carbs. it's not a "smart" choice lol There are alot of popcorn products that are great tasting, and not as high in fat. airpopped is the best choice, but if that is too bland of an opion kettle popped popcorn in sunflower or canola is a better choice. most popcorn sold in bags is popped with coconut oil, and that makes it some of the most fattening Snacks out there. Coconut oil makes the popcorn taste great, and last for like ever! However it's like eating 12 big macs or something crazy like that. check the labels, sometime calories can seem reasonable, but the grams of fat are absolutely ridiculous. hope that answers your question.

TracyinKS 7 Posted January 15, 2007 pop corn = Corn and Corn is very HIGH in Starch, which means it is high in Carbs and for me CARBS= STRAIGHT SUGAR + It doesn't fill me up, and for bandsters it could get stuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
