Are you good at math? How many calories is this?

[Anonymous]

I’ll admit I’ve never been great at math, but I’m looking at this nutrition label and it has me like



Can anyone decipher this label and tell me how many calories a whole bag of this popcorn would be, popped and consumed?

OP again. I think I have it. Is it 35x9 or 315 a bag, popped?

[Anonymous]

I'm terrible at math but his is my answer:

154 calories per serving - which is 4.5 cups of popped popcorn. So the entire bag is about 308 calories.

35 times 11. 385 calories.

[Anonymous]

2.5 servings. Serving is 160 calories. 2.5 x 160 = 400

Or 35 calories per cup, 11 cups = 385 calories. (Difference is from rounding)

35x11 = 385. This label is dumb. Why are they even listing I popped?

[Anonymous]

bag ~11 cups popped * 35 calories/cup popped = 385 calories eating the entire bag once popped

I have no idea what happens to the higher calories per tablespoon unpopped figure once you pop it.

but 4.5 x 35 is 157.5. 157.5 times 2.5 total servings is 394. It's in the upper 300s.

Why in the world do they even put the calories of the popcorn kernels unpopped- on a mag of microwave popcorn. The bags aren't meant to be opened until it is popped. I suppose you could..but who in the world would open the bag and scoop out the goop covered kernels? Never understood this.

It's like how pasta only has dry calories on it. They may be required to do calories as packaged.

0 calories because after all of that math my body would have burned through any and all calories I would’ve consumed in that bag pop or unpopped.

This is the correct answer.
