hey guys today we’re gonna talk about how many carbs are in popcorn now I’m gonna let you know I love popcorn I used to work at a theater actually about six months ago no I’m just kidding when I was 16 I was the guy that made the popcorn and I could make some seriously good popcorn I remember taking these bags home like garbage bags full of popcorn from my dad and myself we would eat eat popcorn when watching TV at night and just handfuls for hours just consuming popcorn right a lot of salt at that time we use peanut oil now of course they use soy oil and hydrogenated oils it’s really really bad if you go to the movie theater and the fake butter and the whole thing but here’s the challenge one ounce a popcorn is 28 grams and it’s two and a half cups it’s very light so that will give you 22 carbs if we - the fiber four grams so that would equal 18 grams net carbs okay so we always go with always - the fiber this is the net carbs that you’re gonna operate off of and the goal is to keep your carbs between 20 and 50 for the whole day preferably below 20 so right there that’s gonna pretty much eat up your entire carbohydrate requirement for their whole day so it’s not a lot of volume but it’s a lot of carbs for the amount that you’re consuming and the glycemic index is between 55 and 89 depending on what type of popcorn you use and what you put on it so it’s moderately high so I don’t recommend it unfortunately I’m sorry about that because I know a lot of you love popcorn maybe you could I don’t know chew something crunchy like pork rinds something like that so unfortunately for those people who love popcorn it’s not a good idea on a ketogenic plant okay thanks for watching hey guys I wanted to personally invite you to a new Facebook group that I just started called dr.
