[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Air popped popcorn with a (very little) bit of extra virgin olive and sea salt.

I also really like tinned mackerel, which has the advantage of being packed with Omega 3s and great for skin/hair.[/quote]

How much air popped popcorn would you have to eat to get to 200 calories?

I think the point of the 6 small meals is to have a balanced meal 6 times a day.[/quote]

One cup of air popped popcorn has only 31 calories!  I love this because you can eat what seems like a lot of it for very little calories (4 cups for about 125 calories, not including a few drops of olive oil), and it is a good source of fiber (and has lots of antioxidants as well, if the various nutrition books I have are to be believed.  It has to be AIR POPPED from kernels you buy, not the kind that you microwave, which is full of added "bad" fats and chemicals.

I pop mine into a large bowl and add just a few drops of extra virgin olive oil (also very good for you) and mix it really well with sea salt: you don't need much oil at all.  The fresh popcorn smells really good when it is just-made, and my kids like it too (we don't do chips in our house).

I don't really have a sweet tooth, but I love crunchy, salty popcorn, and I have this most evenings.  I eat very clean and this helps me not to want to binge on something really bad for me.  As I said, the fact that you can have quite a lot of it for very few calories is good for me (I like to crunch while I read on my Kindle late at night).[/quote]
