**Vieope** · 02-16-2004, 07:57 PM

Popcorn, plain, cooked in microwave oven, Green's brand
G.I 55
Popcorn, plain, cooked in microwave oven, Uncle Toby's brand
G.I 89

My list only shows popcorn at 89.

Regardless - popcorn comes from corn and corn is very hi gi which is why most of us don't eat corn or popcorn for that matter.

I dont think about popcorn

**Flex** · 02-16-2004, 09:07 PM

now that i think about it, when i used to go to the movies (i'd say this was in h.s.), i'd split a large popcorn w/my buddy, and LITERALLY put sooooo much salt on it that you're mouth hurt when you chewed haha.

love those good ole days....

I was giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming it was air popped. I guess I shall never assume again.

ANY microwave Popcorn is bad because of the trans fat.

Yeah, and good old fat adding to an already bad carb source is just Oh so much healthier for you.

What is it with you people thinking if you just add fat to a fast burning carb that it will help.

It doesn't work that way.

Maybe the oringinal poster posted this question, because they go to movie theatres occasionally and are tempted to cheat - or do cheat.

It's hard to resist that smell of popcorn and trans-fatty butter wafting your way while you heading to the ticket-taker with the bow-tie.

I rent my movies on DVD and watch 'em at home. No temptation there....

**Prince** · 02-16-2004, 10:25 PM

I love popcorn and think that everyone should eat a HUGE bucket whenever they go see a movie!!!

unfortunately I have not had any in over two months.

**vanity** · 02-16-2004, 10:33 PM

Plain air popped popcorn itself is a healthy, low-calorie, whole grain food with four grams of fiber per three cups and has only 20 calories per cup.

Just stay away from movie theatre popcorn and microwave popcorns.

Adding a fat source with a faster burner carb does slow down digestion? Correct me if i'm wrong!!!

I don't know why you will eat Spenda but won't eat corn. To eatch their own I guess.

Yes, but if someone is cutting it is not a good carb choice.

It depends on the diet. If your diet is a low carb high fat diet, it has its benefits.

In general Carb + Fat = BAD

Yes, fat does slow down digestion but that should be saved for slowing down protein digestion or carb ups (with slow burning carbs) on low carb diets.

Oh and I do eat corn on my high carb days while bulking.

I suppose I should have asked what kind of diet he's on before saying what I said. I'm sick so excuse me if I fuck up every now and then

GAWD, that movie theater popcorn is HORRIBLE for you, even if you order it without the butter like I do.

I can't remember the last time I went to the movies and did NOT have popcorn.

**HoldDaMayo** · 02-17-2004, 03:17 PM

last time i went i ate a whole large sized bag of Reese's Pieces... what a mistake that was...

Last time I chowed down on those, my stomach was in KNOTS.

**HoldDaMayo** · 02-17-2004, 03:23 PM

i loved every minute of the consuming process though...

It is not the problem of cheating. The thing that annoys me at the theathers about popcorn is that the chewing noise is like an alternative soundtrack to the movie.

**greekblondechic** · 02-17-2004, 04:43 PM

So bring somebody to make out with, and you have an alternative soundtrack of your own lol
