Popcorn?

[Grimnir]

Has anyone used popcorn as a source of carbs when dieting?

My thinking is that it'll fill me up without having that much to eat.

The reason I ask is that I can't stomach rice or pasta at the moment and need an alternative that isn't potato.

Plain microwave popcorn with the 1cal 'butter flavour' cooking spray and a little sweetener... Superb!

Love popcorn. Dont diet. Love popcorn.

And a fistful of melted butter. Should diet.

I think I would probably approach this as a a go to craving solution not an allocated carb source.

Thinking about fuelling day to day activity and training.

Rice, oats, potato vs popcorn lol

Good call on the Cous cous, haven't had it in a while. I use oats in my shakes and do eat sweet/normal potato so it wouldn't be my only source of carbs.

I ate a whole bag of popcorn yesterday, was appox 600 calories and was still hungry afterwards. I'm bulking so it's cool, but I wouldn't eat it when cutting

I used to use popcorn if I was gonna do a pump-workout, for the carbs & salt. (plug 50mg Oxy)

It halts fat loss for me tho, pretty much.

Wouldn't go near the microwave stuff either. That's just fat gain in a bag.
