The next time you’re at the movie theater, skip the popcorn. Actually, never buy it again; it’s terribly bad for you. This stems largely from it being cooked in coconut oil. Here are the nutrition facts for a small unbuttered popcorn from a leading movie theater available online:
Calories: 400
Total Fat: 27g (42% of your daily value)
Saturated Fat: 19g (95% of your daily value)
That 95% of your daily value of saturated fat is what’s really bad for you. If you eat this, you’re done for the day; don’t plan on consuming anything else.
Note also that this is for a small unbuttered popcorn. How often do you order a small unbuttered popcorn? Most people probably get the large and eat at least half (I know I used to before I started reading nutrition facts).
Take good care of your body, and get some exercise.
