Even a small bag of popcorn at the theater can set you back 19 grams of saturated fat and 400 calories. Instead, microwave your own 94 percent fat-free butter-flavored popcorn at home and spice it up with one of the add-ins below. You’ll get all the whole-grain, high-fiber benefits of the snack — without the high fat content or calories.
2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 teaspoon fresh orange zest, 3 tablespoons dark-chocolate chips
