Cool idea.

For the sake of being pedantic:

> The whole bowl has fewer calories than two slices of garlic bread

Really? Idk what the sizes are, but I looked up the weight of one of those micro wave popcorn packages, which usually fill the bowl we have at home. That seemed to be 100g, which is about ~350 kcal not including oil/butter. I'm getting about ~275 for 100g of bread, which is more than two slices. That's about 6 inches of baguette.

Maybe your bowl is bigger than OPs?

Those microwavable bags generally contain multiple servings.

I should have included the following information in the blog post (will update it later!):

I usually have:

- 45g of air popped popcorn (64 calories).

- 5 to 10g of butter (37 - 74 calories).

- couple of garlic cloves (10 cals).
