How Many Calories Are In Unpopped Popcorn?
Unpopped popcorn kernels have approximately 3-4 calories per kernel. This means that a cup of unpopped popcorn (about 8 grams) has approximately 30-40 calories. However, once the popcorn is popped, the calorie count increases due to the added air and volume. It is important to measure the popped popcorn to accurately calculate the calorie intake.
