Here is the nutritional information for Smart Balance popcorn:<br><img alt="" src="http://www.smartbalance.com/images/nutrition_facts/SmBalPopcorn.gif" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
I think I had the low fat popcorn.<br><br>
I popped and ate an entire bag. Would the nutritional information for me be the "packaged" column, or do I need to multiply the "1 cup popped" by 4? The numbers don't seem to add up.

My guess: packaged.<br><br>
You're right, its confusing. Look at the serving size (popped), and the servings per bag and you should get your answer.<br><br>
But you're right. The numbers don't add up.

Popped I believe...<br><br>
Some of the butter stays in the bag, altering the nutrition information somewhat...<br><br>
But if you ate the whole bag, you have to multiply the info by 15...<br><br>
(1 cup popped.... then a serving size is listed as 5 cup popped... So multiply by 5.... then 3 servings per bag, so multiply by 3.)<br><br>
300 Calories (You save about 60 Calories by some of the fatty oil/butters not leaving the popcorn bag)

You said you popped it, so use "1 cup popped" and multipy by 3 - there are 3 servings in the bag & you ate the whole bag.

NO! 1 cup popped is the nutrition info given... but look at serving size. serving = 5 cups popped. So multiply by 5.<br>
And then multiply by 3 (servings in a bag) because the whole bag was eaten.

I think it is a bad label.<br><br>
It should show the information per serving size. I thought that was the legal standard?<br><br>
Not that it would have stopped me from eating the whole bag! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Within legal standards.<br>
It gives you the information per serving size... It gives you ADDITIONAL information, too.... food isn't required to gived "prepared" information. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
