Popcorn
Officially, it's a complex carb - but still higher on the glycemic index than most, so something to keep in mind. It's also a good source of fiber - but still a carb to be mindful of. I enjoy popcorn pretty frequently, but it wasn't as comfortable to eat the first year or so.

I have not eaten it during weight loss because I've heard it can be a slider food and it's not protein heavy. However, I don't think it's something I'll eliminate for life. Once I've gotten maintenance under control I will probably try it. I like the fiber content and the low cal snackability. However, if I find it's something that triggers an out of control feeling I'll leave it alone. I think it's a pretty individual thing but personally, it's not the worst snack I can think of. :-)
It's certainly not the healthiest choice you could make, and it's pretty easy to over-indulge. But if you can moderate and just have it occasionally, go for it.

Trader Joes has a really good light kettle corn popcorn that is sweet and salty and yummy. It is lo cal and carbs aren't too bad especially if you break it up into 4 servings. I LOVE it and it gets me thru rough times when I am craving something I shouldn't have. It has 110 calories and 2 g protein and 19 carbs for bag and I eat 1/4 a bag a day. Unfortunately I have no trouble eating it.
Can eat, don't recommend it. It will stall your weight loss if eaten regularly.

I love love love love popcorn... Did I mention how much I love it? Lol. I eat the snack size bag that are 100 calories. I don't have it everyday but I do at least once a week. It feels fine. I don't feel like it's a slider for for me. I eat it slow and sometimes can't even finish the small snack size bag. I usually share it with the hubby
