| Large, unbuttered popcorn from a movie theater
Hold the butter: And most of the popcorn, too. A 3-cup serving of plain movie-theater popcorn is 165 calories and 9 grams of fat. But if you've been known to scarf down an entire bag (there are 30 cups in the bag shown here), the tally changes to 1,650 calories and 93 grams of fat. And that doesn't count the free refills. Or 6 tablespoons butter, which would add 610 calories and 69 grams fat to the total. | |
