Popcorn and Pretzels
Although a snack sized bag of pretzels and a single-serving bag of 94 percent fat-free popcorn have about the same amount of protein and fat, the popcorn yields six satisfying cups, counts as three whole grain servings, and provides five grams of fiber. Plus it has 50 fewer calories than pretzels and half the amount of sodium.
