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

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

You know how the popcorn bag is soaked with grease after you pop it? That's the extra calories.

The label is confusing, but the official serving size is based on the unpopped amount. When you see "about" on a label that means there is rounding, and you will not get the exact amount of calories using that value. So, the number of calories is 2.5 servings per bag times the 160 calories for the unpopped 2 Tbsp serving = 400 calories.

Yes, except that popcorn is a food that doesn't absorb all the fat it's cooked in. So, some of the oil or whatever they used stays behind in the bag.
