Looking for ways to cut more fat? The Biggest Loser contestants have been known to swear by I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! spray instead of light butter when eating popcorn. As long as you don’t add too much fat and too many calories, popcorn is a great snack. It’s high in fiber and low in calories. You can eat a decent volume without eating too many calories.

　　

Ingredients

makes 1 (2 3/4-cup) serving

　　2 tablespoons yellow or white popcorn kernels

　　1/2 tablespoon light butter (stick, not tub; I used Challenge Light)

　　1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce (a thick one like Wing Time, not a thin one like Tabasco), preferably all-natural

　　

Step 1

Pop the popcorn in an air popper or in the microwave using a microwave popping bowl according to package directions.

　　

Step 2

Meanwhile, add the butter and hot sauce to a small microwave-safe bowl. When the popping corn is popped, microwave the butter and sauce on high until the butter is mostly melted, 10 to 20 seconds. Stir it (it should then be melted).

　　

Step 3

Transfer the popped corn to a large serving bowl. Drizzle half of the butter mixture over the popcorn. Toss well, then drizzle the remaining butter mixture over the top. Toss again and serve immediately.
