Although a snack-sized bag of pretzels and a single-serving bag of 94 percent fat-free microwave 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.
