You can eat more than half a day’s calories and three days’ worth of saturated fat in one large bag of popcorn:
- A large-sized popcorn at Regal theaters has 20 cups of popcorn, 1,200 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat.
- A large popcorn at AMC has 16 cups, 1,030 calories and 57 grams of saturated fat.
- A large from Cinemark: 17 cups and 910 calories, 4 grams of saturated fat.
