Is anyone currently doing weight watchers -If so how many points for microwave popcorn ?  I have done ww's off and on for years and the last time I was on it popcorn 

was either 0 or 1 point for a big bag. Now according to value diary it is 3 or 4 points for a small bag. Does anyone know?

hi! i don't do weight watchers, but i buy the jollytime 100 calorie microwave popcorn and it says on the front of the box that it's 3 ww points. it's a small bag. great for a snack. two flavors - butter and kettle corn. the kc is the tastier of the two. i hope that's helpful!

@isaboo  As per my WW Pocket Guide:

* Microwave-popped, light, 2 cups is 2 Smart Points

* Microwave-popped, plain, 2 cups is 3 Smart Points

Online WW food search brings up MANY types of microwave-popped popcorn and they can range from 2 to 8 points (and that's for the LIGHT version). If you post the exact brand and type, I'll look it up for you.

@freakygirl- too funny. I JUST finished eating a mini bag of Jolly Time Kettle corn about 5 minutes ago. It's really good.

         What a coencidence i just finished a mini Jolly Time butter! I wanted another bag because I am hungry but thought I better make sure on the points.  I just put a few bags in my purse to bring to work and the little bags don't have the information on them.

Thank you all for you help!

@isaboo,    I recently joined and here is the info.:

microwave light 2 cups = 2 pts

microwave plain 2 cups = 3 pts

reduced fat = 2 pts

movie popcorn no butter 2 cups = 3 pts

The program is very different from years ago.  Fruit and veggies are 0 pts.  The new program is based on sat. fat and sugar.  You want to keep it on the low side; however, I calculate everything.  Yesterday I had a cube steak with brussel sprouts so I only had points for the steak.  So far it's not bad.  I need to go back to get weighed in this week.  Weight Watchers is really the best program out there.  I love Panera and I can eat there guilt free having a 1/2 chicken cesear salad w/dressing and a cup of soup.   I guess I gave you more info. than you wanted.

Kat, Do you find ithe program easier to stick with? My problem with WW was TOO many choices. Is there a low carb option these days?  TIA

@isaboo - microwave popcorn is SO bad for you with all the chemicals - if you are going to be eating a lot of popcorn - get a Stir Crazy - they are wonderful and the popcorn is not dry.  I use about 1/2 the oil they tell you to use and it is still enough.

As someone who followed Atkins while on WW, it's FABULOUS for those who want to go low carb.
