What are the Weight Watcher points for popcorn?

The Weight Watchers points for popcorn vary depending on how it's prepared. Here's a breakdown:

Air-popped popcorn:

* Without any toppings: 0 SmartPoints

* With a small amount of butter or olive oil (1 teaspoon): 1 SmartPoint

* With salt and pepper: 0 SmartPoints

Microwave popcorn:

* Pre-packaged bags: This can range from 2 to 5 SmartPoints per serving depending on the brand and flavor. It's important to check the label.

* Homemade microwave popcorn: This will have similar SmartPoints to air-popped popcorn depending on the toppings used.

Factors that affect SmartPoints:

* Toppings: Butter, oil, salt, sugar, and other toppings will add to the SmartPoints value.

* Type of popcorn: Some brands of popcorn have different fat and calorie content, which can affect SmartPoints.

* Serving size: Eating a large serving of popcorn will obviously have more SmartPoints than a small serving.

Tips for healthy popcorn:

* Choose air-popped popcorn: It's the lowest in calories and fat.

* Use healthy toppings: Opt for seasonings like salt, pepper, chili powder, or nutritional yeast instead of butter or oil.

* Control your portion size: A small bowl is usually enough.

It's always best to check the Weight Watchers app or website for the most accurate SmartPoints for your specific popcorn choice.
