Popcorn - A Low-Cal TV Time Treat

It doesn't seem to matter what you have for dinner, the minute you turn on the TV, the urge to snack goes into overdrive. Chips are a popular late-night snack, but eat much more than a handful and you're asking for trouble. Instead, say the You Docs, get your crunch from popcorn instead.

There are a lot of reasons popcorn is a go-to snack for munchers. It's low in fat and calories, it's a whole grain and it'll make you feel full ... so you don't go grazing in the kitchen for seconds during a commercial break. Just make sure you keep it a healthy snack by air-popping it. And it goes without saying that smothering it in butter is a bad idea.

If you can't stand it dry, try sprinkling some spice on top. Make it even more interesting with one of these healthy popcorn recipes, including curry, cajun, onion-dill ... yum!
