I think the microwave stuff is fairly high. I make regular popcorn at home from the kernels. I guess it's not too much of a trigger for me (i.e. it doesn't lead to the kind of quantities you'd get in a microwave bag or even the stuff you buy at movies. I used to get the child sized bag when I used to buy it at movies.) I really find my appetite is so reduced on this woe that quantity isn't much of a prob. Not sure if it's partly an effect of summertime, but some days I have a hard time getting my calories up.
