Caramel Coated Popcorn (100 G)

Have a small, pre-portioned serving of caramel-coated popcorn rather than eating from the bag; avoid refills.

Eat it after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach, especially one containing protein and non-starchy vegetables.

Pair the popcorn with a protein-rich option such as plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a handful of nuts to slow absorption.

Add fiber with foods such as apple slices, berries, or vegetables before or alongside the snack.

Choose lightly sweetened or plain air-popped popcorn more often, and add cinnamon or a small amount of dark chocolate for flavor instead of a heavy caramel coating.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help reduce the post-snack rise.
