It’s bad enough that they don’t make many great movies these days, but does the popcorn need to kill you too? Theater popcorn is loaded with calories and artery-clogging saturated fat, according to a new analysis. But common sense would have already told us that.
For instance a large-sized popcorn at Regal theaters has 20 cups of popcorn, 1,200 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat. That’s more than half a day’s calories and three days’ worth of saturated fat in one large popcorn.
A large popcorn at AMC has 16 cups, 1,030 calories and 57 grams of saturated fat, while a large from Cinemark: 17 cups and 910 calories, 4 grams of saturated fat.
