SkinnyPop Popcorn

Volumetrics is an eating plan championed by Barbara Rolls of Penn State University, and it’s based on getting more mileage out of low-density foods. For example, a huge salad—or in this case, nearly 4 cups of popcorn—will leave you more satisfied than a square of chocolate, and for far fewer calories. If you’re someone who gets depressed by measly portions, reach for snacks that have a high water content like fruits, veggies—or our favorite crunchy munchie: popcorn. For a pre-popped variety, we love SkinnyPop because it’s free of additives and tasty without being too salty.

Pita chips have traditionally had a "health halo"—made with few ingredients (if prepared properly), they sound more natural than deep-fried potato chips or salty pretzels. But many brands douse their pita in heavy oils and then roll them in sodium. Kashi's have only 120 per handful.
