Is popcorn bad for you?

Question

is homemade popcorn bad for you if your on a diet? how many calories or fat does it have ?

Answer 1

Popcorn has very few nutrients, but has fiber which is needed.  I wouldn't say it is bad for you.  You can read the nutritional information on the package. The problem comes when butter and salt are added!

Answer 2

nope it not bad for you. you can eat as much as you want. ask any nutritionalist, they will tell you the same

Answer 3

The calories are in the oil and butter.  If you air-pop it with no butter, it has very few calories.  You could always spray it with buttery Pam then and put some salt on it.  Otherwise it will taste like styrofoam peanuts, and you'd be better off not eating it at all......

Answer 4

A doctor told my mom to eat one cup of popcorn without butter for a snack.

Answer 5

No. Calories would be based on quantity and if whether or not you used butter.

Answer 6

Popcorn is good for you.  The only thing bad is the amount of butter and salt you add to it.

Answer 7

well i have fat free popcorn and it pops about 10 cups which comes to approx 250 calories with no fat, only bad thing is butter/salt..and its not filling........but i think its a really good snack
