What’s crunchy, salty, and—welp—loaded with fat? Yep, that’d be movie theater popcorn. Though a medium bag comes in at just about 160 calories and nine grams of fat, the golden butter we drench it in slaps on another 130 calories and 14 grams of fat—per tablespoon. And we don’t even want to know how many tablespoons we go through in the solid six seconds we hold down that butter button for.
If the thought of all that greasy, unhealthy butter makes you cringe, you have options! These guilt-free popcorns offer plenty of flavor (whether you’re craving classic or something funky) but won’t throw your macros completely out the window. Munch on!
