Somebody told me this, giving some stupid explanation of popped popcorn being mostly "air." I didn't believe them because the mass and chemical composition will still be the same, but I just checked a bag of popcorn and it has 10 fewer calories from fat when it's popped than when it's unpopped. Huh? I know their explanation is obviously wrong, but why physically or chemically would popped popcorn have less calories?
