9. Sprinkle nutritional yeast on popcorn instead of cheese.

Nutritional yeast has a rep as a weird hippie ingredient (you can find it at organic/health food stores or order online) but it's absolutely worth keeping around. It has a great umami flavor that's very cheese-esque, lots of protein and fiber, and zero fatty cheese-induced guilt.
