Popcorn (Low Fat and Sodium, Microwave) (100 G)

Reduce the portion of microwave popcorn and pre-portion it into a small bowl rather than eating from the bag.

Choose plain, air-popped popcorn when possible, and avoid sweetened, caramel, or heavily flavored varieties.

Eat popcorn alongside protein and fat, such as a small handful of almonds or walnuts, plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or turkey slices.

Add a high-fiber side such as raw vegetables with hummus, avocado, or a salad with a vinegar-based dressing.

Avoid eating popcorn on an empty stomach; have it after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fat.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
