This is the ultimatesnack food — and it's better for you than you think

这就是最佳零食——它比你想象中的对你更有好处

We all may be full of holiday cheer, but we're also full of holiday meals. When the indulgencesof the season start to catch up with us, it's time to ditchthe usual dinner for something a little more whimsical: a snack night.

我们的内心可能都充满着节日的欢欣，但我们的胃里也装满了节日大餐。当节日季的放纵开始给我们带来困扰，是时候抛弃常规的晚餐，来点儿更新奇的尝试：零食之夜。

When you're snacking for dinner, popcorn can't be beat. It's an ideal "main course" because it's more filling than other snack foods and doesn't rely on a fryerfor flavor. It also can be made from scratchin minutes with no special equipment other than a large pot, and you can flavor it any which way you want.

当你准备用零食当晚餐时，爆米花是最好的选择。它是一道理想的“主菜”，因为它比其他零食更有饱腹感，而且不需要用炸锅烹饪来调味。并且从头开始做也只需要几分钟就能做好，除了一个大锅外，不需要其它任何特殊的锅具，你可以用任何你喜欢的方式调味。

It's not necessary to save popcorn night for a special occasion, either. While you can certainly pair popcorn with a movie-watching evening, there is no law against making popcorn for dinner whenever the moment feels right. Don't fight the feeling.

也没有必要把爆米花之夜留到一个特殊的场合。你当然可以在晚上看电影的时候吃爆米花，但没有法律禁止你晚餐做爆米花吃，你觉得合适的时候就可以做。不要与你的感受对抗。

延伸阅读

Popcorn is an unprocessed whole grain: In fact, it's the combination of a starchy core inside a fibrous outer hull that makes popcorn pop. It's also high in fiber, containing nearly 4 grams per 4-cup serving, and contains a significant amount of polyphenols that can help lower blood sugar levels and help digestion.

爆米花是一种未经加工的全谷物：事实上，爆米花是由纤维状外壳和里面的淀粉组成的。它还富含膳食纤维，每4杯含有近4克纤维，并含有大量的多酚，有助于降低血糖水平和帮助消化。

In addition, "popcorn is a filling snack due to the volume it takes up in your stomach, which keeps us from over-snacking," said registered dietitian nutritionist Julien Chamoun of RD Nutrition Counseling in New Jersey. Popcorn has been shown to be more satiating than potato chips, meaning you'll feel fuller after eating it.

此外，新泽西州RD营养咨询公司的注册营养师朱利安·查蒙说：“爆米花是一种能填饱肚子的零食，因为它在你的胃里会占很大的体积，可以防止我们吃太多零食。”爆米花被证明比薯片更有饱腹感，这意味着你吃了它后会感到更饱。
