Anyone know how much carbs in movie popcorn without butter? Just want to see if I can have some tonight. > Anyone know how much carbs in movie popcorn without butter? Just want to see > if I can have some tonight. 1 cup popped in oil - 6.29 g - 1.1 g of fiber 1 cup popped in oil with butter = 7.23 g - 1.26 g of fiber Keep in mind...1 cup is not very much popcorn. Better to eat before you go and bring a snack with you. I know it's hard...movie popcorn is big for me too...but it does not fit in a LC WOE. Norsk hehe, yeah that is what I thought. I'll have dinner before I go to the movie and take a club soda with me, that should do it. I would like to think I could just eat a hand full, but I am sure the will power would not allow it. :) Sooo, NOOOOOOOOO popcorn. > > Anyone know how much carbs in movie popcorn without butter?

I share a bag with DH, he scoops it in by the handful and I like to eat one kernal at a time so it works out for us.

It pays to read. I went to the movies yesterday for the first time since starting LC, and just ASSumed I couldn't have popcorn. I took pistachios instead (2 'small child's handfuls') that had *more* carbs than the popcorn I could've had. I enjoyed the pistachios, too, but this is really good to know. I did not, however, enjoy the chocolate Atkins shake I took with me. Ugh. Threw it away before drinking half. I've never consumed anything that tasted less like chocolate than that shake. Cate Awww just slip a cold Diet Rite cola into your purse next time and enjoy a soda with the popcorn, lol. You're supposed to have fun going to a movie..

You're supposed to have fun going > to a movie.. I hate diet sodas; I'm very sensitive to the taste of any artificial sweeteners. I bought water instead ($3.14!), and savored getting that nasty Atkins shake taste out of my mouth! Many lessons were learned yesterday. <g> Cate Popcorn is not lowcarb. Are you too fat to understand this?

Are you too fat-headed to understand this? Actually, it *is* relatively low-carb. Only 5g carbs per cup. The problem is that most people don't stop at a couple of cups; Peter website: http://users.thelink.net/marengo You have admitted in the past to eating almonds. A cup of almonds has more carbs than a cup of popcorn. So how come you consider almonds lower carb than popcorn? > Popcorn is not lowcarb.

Just want to | see if I can have some tonight. Mike, I've been low-carbing for 3 years, and movie popcorn is one of the occassional "indulgences" I allow myself. It has never stalled my weight loss; and I recently learned why. Popcorn is low-calorie (just 30 calories/cup), not very carby (5 net g/cup), and has only a moderate glycemic index (55). (These numbers are per the USDA nutrient website). It doesn't convert to glucose rapidly or cause a subsequent dramatic insulin spike and crash that would likely cause carb cravings. Because so much of popcorn is air, one cup only has 5g of net carbs. If you are not in the induction (or beginning) stage of your low-carb way of eating, go for it; relax, and enjoy a nice treat of movie popcorn. Make sure you slather it with that decadent trans-fatty "butter" topping <g>!
