Ideas?

Popcorn makes me bloated and gives me the sugar crazies.

Looking for suggestions please!

    Well short of taking something with you I wouldn't know what to tell you cause I work the movie popcorn into my day when we go to the movies.. There is just some things worth the calories and that is definitely one of them.... lol... Best of Luck...

    Twizzlers. It's always been my movie food. But I've also brought apple slices and dried cranberries with me.

    I eat before or after I go. Not paying good money for that crap.

    I have taken grapes, fiber one bars oe mini rice cakes in with me, they do sell frozen yogurt or soft pretzles that would probably be the best choice if u want to buy something there

    Graham crackers, a bottle of water maybe. A package of Snackwell cookies. Something to munch on, you can even pop your own popcorn and take some in a baggie. It's hard to get worse than theatre popcorn and I absolutely don't drink cokes any more....I just have to get PAST the yummy smell of popcorn, after the lobby, I'm fine!!

    Bingo. That sounds like a sweet treat that might just work for me.

    If I'm hungry, I'll sneak in a subway.

    I think movie food is nasty. (Both appearance and taste)

    I usually don't eat anything, i just enjoy the movie. If i did bring anything it probably just be some carrots, cucumber or celery so i can get the crunch factor without the guilt. The extra nutrients don't hurt either :)

    I've researched the calories in those popcorns and a medium is around 800 calories alone. I stopped buying candy and popcorn at the movies and just bring my own healthy snacks like a nutrigrain bar, or similar.

    I love popcorn, so that's what I always eat. I'm assuming you want to avoid candy? Do you like beef jerky? You could bring in your own healthy snack if you preferred. Like trail mix, or a cut up apple and pb whatever you find tasty. I sneak in taco bell at times. :P Some theaters have really good "healthy" snacks now. Yogurt parfait?

    I always sneak in my own food. Usually popcorn made at home because the stuff at the movies has an INSANE amount of butter and such. Sometimes I bring candy too. I've also gotten creative and brought things like homemade sweet potato fries, cereal, fruit, nuts, etc. Basically anything I can fit in my purse :)
