Popcorn

Ellen says: Craving for a healthy snack on movie nights? How about popcorn? A standard three-cup serving of air-popped popcorn contains just 93 calories and less than 1.5 grams of fat. These low-calories snacks are considered whole grains, which have some valuable antioxidants not found in fruits and vegetables.

They also contain B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium and fiber. The new 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that all adults eat half their grains as whole grains. That's three to five servings of whole grains a day. If you prefer microwave popcorn, choose the plain one if possible and avoid the "buttery" or "caramel" microwave popcorn that may be loaded with calories, sugar and trans fat.
