Stapled hand filled popcorn bags

It's "give up meat for lent", not "lint". :-)

Yeah. I never got that "staple food" thing before now. What a wacky
diet strategy.
The other thing I never got--and still don't--is this "giving up meat
for lint." I can see giving up meat for beans or for veggieburgers or
something, but lint? I always feel like asking, "Which lint? Pocket
lint? Dryer lint?" but I'm too embarassed to admit that I don't have
a clue. It's only the anonymity of Usenet that's given me the courage
to ask right now.

How does he make the popcorn low-carb?

Obviously, I needed to mention the thread in this newsgroup where
somebody else brought up popcorn and Alton Brown's suggestions and a
lot of people objected to the staples.

That's the reason for my post.

According to FitDay, one cup of air-popped unbuttered popcorn has 5g net
carbs and 31 calories. It becomes high-carb if you don't stop at one
cup.

Yes, you have to watch serving size -- note that that's for one cup of
popped popcorn. You have to use 1/3C of unpopped for 2 people and 1/6 C
for one.
