Silly Question?

(Pam Fraser) #1

One of my guilty pleasures is movie popcorn. I would have thought it was a no-no but when I checked my Fitness Pal it said there were 0 carbs??? Could this be correct?

No. Popcorn has about 5 grams of carbs in one cup of air popped. My Fitness Pal is notorious for having incorrect information. I track my own macros or make sure the entries in the MFP database are from a reliable source.

Firstly, no question is a silly question. :slight_smile:

Using myfatsecret I get 6.29g of carbs in just one cup.

No. Most definitely wrong I am afraid. This is from Wikipedia and shows the per 100g count. As you can see, total carbs are 74% and net 61% so super starchy! Google says there are 11g in a cup so that would be just over 8g total and nearly 7g net. Sorry, this is a very unwise choice on keto.

Thanks so much. I didn’t think that could possibly be correct

Thanks very much. That sounds more like it.

May I recommended dipping pork rind into ghee? My new guilty pleasure.
You only need a few before you’re full (I never ate only one cup of popcorn).

You so may!
