Watch a movie while munching popcorn is fun. Want a salty, or wrapped in caramel and butter, all are delicious. Fragrant aroma and delicious taste make us can not stop chewing until the film runs out. Did you know that the popcorn had a lot of calories, fat and salt?
The habit of chewing popcorn while watching movies may effect you something. The proof, in every movie theater there is always some popcorn machine. Nose piercing fragrance that instantly makes people automatically buy the popcorn after buying a ticket. Watching it feels less complete without popcorn.
However, there are things to look out for in a bag or box of popcorn that you buy. An observation is reviewed by The New York Times revealed serious things that need to be observed. Research carried out the Centre for Science watching popcorn is sold in three theaters in New York and recorded the variant flavors offered.
At the Regal Cinema, offers a serving size of 20 cups of popcorn that has 1200 calories, 980 mg sodium and 60 g of saturated fat. By adding 1 tablespoon butter, calories increases 130. Not to mention if people buy a package 'refill'.
Even if bought in a medium size, not much different nutritional content. Even a small size 11 cups, supplying 670 calories, 550 mg sodium and 24 g of saturated fat. Except for the popcorn bebaas low in calories and saturated fat. Usually the popcorn sold in movie theaters, using oil, even coconut oil containing 90% saturated fat. Not to mention if the added salt.
"The problem is the size for large size, has given 75% calorie needs per day," he added Marion Nestle, nutrition professor at New York University . Likewise, the popcorn 'Healthy' is checked, has 370 calories.
While the observations made at Cinemark slightly better because the popcorn is made with canola oil. One portion sizes of 17 cups of popcorn with 910 calories and 4 g saturated fat and 1,500 mg of sodium, which is roughly enough to supply calories per day.
Then how do I eat popcorn healthy? Try to ask for popcorn without salt (though not all theaters will serve). The best way is do not eat popcorn during the movie, as well as various cakes, nuts and other sweet snacks.
"If you want to eat popcorn could be busy-busy with 10 friends, for example," advises Dr. Nestle. "The best thing is do not eat popcorn at all during the movie," he said. Especially after eating popcorn, still continues with dinner or lunch. So, be ready this weekend to watch without popcorn?
