What is your favorite junk food and why? Now, find the nutritional information for that junk food (preferably online so that you don't actually have to see the food) and list the number of servings, the number of calories, the total fat, the amount of sodium, the total carbs, and the grams of sugar. Think about how unhealthy that junk food is and share why you want to stop eating it.
My favorite snack food EVER is popcorn. I love it so, so much. I love it in every form: movie theater, microwave bags, popped in my Stir-Crazy, whatever. Of course, popcorn can be a really good snack but, if you eat it the way I like to, it's really pretty awful for you. I like for it to be swimming in butter. For instance, at the movies, when they ask me if I want butter, my response is usually, "Yes, like, more than you think is appropriate." My popcorn guy in Gatlinburg calls my order "The Heart Attack." (Is it weird that I have a popcorn guy? I see nothing wrong with it.) Anyway, Regal Movie Theaters have their nutrition info for a small popcorn (which is usually what I eat) listed as follows:
Serving Size: 6 cups
Calories: 630
Fat: 50 g
Sodium: 550 mg
Carbs- 37 g
Sugar- 0g
Fortunately, when I make my own popcorn, I can, and do, control how much butter, salt, and oil are used. I don't want to stop eating popcorn, as the question prompts me to do. I just need to remember not to go overboard.
