This weeks Tasty Tuesday Tip involves what many people eat at the movie theater as a treat and that treat is popcorn.
The problem with popcorn purchased at a movie theater such as AMC is it can have anywhere between 225 calories (11 grams of fat) for a small serving to 1,030 calories (41 grams of fat) for a large serving and these servings don't even include butter! [1]
If you want something to snack on without all the calories the next time you go to the movies try Quaker Buttered Popcorn flavored Rice Cakes. One of these Rice Cakes is around 30 calories with gram of fat. You could eat the whole bag and get 400 calories with around 12 grams of fat tops.
For people trying to eat heathier when they go to the movies, the Rice Cakes may be the way to go. In addition a bag of these Rice Cakes costs $2.25 compared to movie popcorn that can be $7-10 based on serving size.
Give them a try sometime.
