The one food item that I can never seem to figure out tracking wise is air popped popcorn. I buy a bag of kernals, then pop them in my air popper.
The bag has this for nutritional information:
Serving size 1/4 cup Dry (33g)
Calories 130
PRO 4g
CHO 26g
FAT 1g
Am I to assume that this is for 1/4 cup of the kernels? If so, thats a huge, filling snack for very few calories.

I know, I know!
I am trying to be less obsessive when it comes to calorie counting and I just wish the package said "SERVING SIZE 1/4CUP OF KERNELS".
I just needed some 3rd party verification.
Thanks.
Doesn't matter...just weigh it...ends up same popped or unpopped - 33g.
At least it does for me...
yes its for the actual kernels. (before being popped)
There's a reason why it said 1/4 cup "DRY", and it's not just in case you wanna soak your popcorn in water before eating it.
