How should I track Popcorn, microwave, regular (butter) flavor, made with palm oil?
Popcorn, microwave, regular (butter) flavor, made with palm oil is high in fiber. When it comes to Popcorn, microwave, regular (butter) flavor, made with palm oil, weighing beats counting every time. Snack pieces vary in size, and a handful from a bag can easily be 50–100% more than the label serving. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people consistently underestimate portions of calorie-dense snacks. Another common trap: multi-serving packages.
