Popcorn nutrition facts?

I am very confused about the nutrition labels on popcorn. In kernels (put them in a paper bag and pop in the microwave without butter or oil) 2 tablespoons tells me, about 5 cups, is 110 CAL. And for every cup of popcorn is 20 calories. And I never rises 5 popcorn 2 tablespoons. And my microwave kettle corn, which calls for 2 tablespoons is about 4.5 cups of popcorn is 160 calories and he threw a cup is 30 calories! What should I use? Should I count calories with cups or tablespoons?

It seems confusing, I heard that popcorn is a healthy food if there is no butter oil etc. so if there is nothing of that in the popcorn should not having to worry much about that anyway
