I see that some people eat popcorn. What kind do you eat? DO you put anything on it, salt? Butter?

If I eat popcorn I get the 100 calorie bags and do not add anything to them.

I use my air popper.  I used to put popcorn seasoning on it, butter and cheese flavor but now I just throw the butter on it.  I don't use salt much because I don't care for the taste.

Most of the time, I use an air popper and drizzle with just a small amount of melted butter but then use a butter-favored popcorn salt. Occasionally, I get a craving and want a treat so I get the snack sized bags of movie theater butter microwave popcorn (high in fat) and eat only half.

White popcorn, (never yellow) just my preference. I use a bit of sea salt on it and no butter. I take out the amount I want and hand the rest to the kids. If I wanted to go back for more I couldn't because they've inhaled it lol

I buy 94% ff popcorn.  Single serving sides are 100 calories I think.  I use those if I'm not making for the whole family

 Want to know a really neat/easy to make popcorn?  I couldn't believe how tasty and low cal/low fat this is!

1/4 cup unpopped popcorn
1/2 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt to taste

In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together.  Pour into brown paper bag.  Fold the top of the bag over twice (don't worry, it wont open!)

Cook in microwave for 1 and a half to two minutes on high or until you hear  about 2 seconds between pops.  Pour into bowl and enjoy!

Another thing I used to do is replace the vege oil with Frank's hot sauce and the salt with garlic salt.  It is not spicy after it pops and it is AMAZING!!!  You can also do kettlecorn and use 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp sugar (or sugar substitute).  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this popcorn.

 Regular popcorn that I make on the stove; use just two teaspoons of oil, and then flavor with a little melted butter and salt.
This is not a frequent thing for me, so I feel OK to use real butter and oil.  If it was frequent, I'd  go the air popped route.

I switched from microwave popcorn, because I wanted to control the amount and type of fats used.
