Popcorn

Popcorn is a crunchy and satisfying snack. And if you steer clear of the artificial butter varieties, it's actually pretty good for you! Plain popcorn contains very few calories and a good amount of fiber. Toss it with some Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Or look for low-sodium, low-calorie popcorn options, and avoid the caramel-coated stuff at all costs.
