    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).

      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!

          I agree, not low-carb and not Induction friendly (not until OWL Rung 9)!

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