Re: Is salted popcorn low carb?
You can find the carbs here: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
Anyway, popcorn is only allowed in OWL Rung 9 (corn is a grain)."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

No! It is corn ... a grain
It has fewer carbs with salt than with sugar, but still not low carb.
Being a grain it's on rung 9 of OWL where you could have 5 net carbs worth per day.
Even then, 5 net carbs worth is going to be about 10-15 grams of it depending on variety which is not much!

Popcorn (depending on what's on it) might be low-calorie, but it's not low-carb.~Lisa
