What do you eat at the movies?

honey_bee_keysha

Usually I eat nothing when I go to the movies. Every once in a while I sneak a small bag of popcorn or frozen grapes.

I usually have popcorn without butter and work it into my day. Like I won't have dinner.

Popcorn is healthy.

If I don't feel like having popcorn, I have a hotdog and again work it into my day

If I don't feel like either of those I get chocolate covered almonds.

Pop is always diet 0 cal if I get it because those portions are HUGE.

I just took the kids today and I brought my own 100 calorie bag of Orville Redenbacher smart pop. Love that stuff! Oh and also 100 calorie pack of cocoa almonds. Of course I do have to try some of their popcorn tho! I also like the Fiber One brownies for a chocolate fix.

I just left the movies and had to log my movie theater buttered popcorn and Coke soda, it was very enjoyable. There's nothing like that butter on that popcorn.

Rarely eat anything at the movies, if I do maybe a small bag of chips or a snack bar

I like popcorn no extra butter, but only the first layer. LOL The ones deeper in the bag are all broken and just popcorn crumbs. hmmm I wonder if they would sell me just like a red party cup of popcorn. LOL I am bringing a red cup next time and asking.

:drinker:

My dignity, I eat my dignity. That must be what happens to it because it's gone by the time the coming attractions are over.

Diet coke and protein bar.

I rarely get to the movies but when I do.. a heavy dose of popcorn with butter is my choice. Its a calorie killer but I work my *kitten* off 5 days a week so I figure once every couple months wont kill me.. or will it?

TheEffort

I can't do movie theater food...for several reasons. If I were to recommend something then, I would recommend a cup of ice.

The other day I brought in a cinnamon sugar trail mix from Target. I'm doing low carb, so it had nuts, dried fruit, and yogurt covered pieces. It was really hard to not eat a ton, though, and the bag had something like 11 servings in it. You can also do make your own trail mix at Whole Foods Market and there are a lot of healthy options, like dried fruit.

I have a refill bucket /tub I buy every year in December at cinemark $6.50 each! this year I got both soda and bucket for $12.00... then my refills for the entire year are $3.00 each!! (side note POPcorn is my all time fave food in the entire world!)

Soup or spaghetti. Sure, they're not as easy to get in there. And, other patrons don't really appreciate the slurping sounds, but oh so yummy. Just kidding. I eat popcorn.

I went to my first movie in ages last week. I took with me a container full of the sweetest strawberries with a teaspoon of sugar on top (I like a sweet treat) and a bottle of alcoholic cider. It was the perfect treat for me and killed any kind of a candy craving. Unfortunately, the cider made me a bit tipsy and I lost the plot in the last half hour. Zombies... There were definitely hordes of zombies....

At my local Regal they have things called GoPicnic packs you can get with crackers and turkey, hummus and chips etc. I usually get one of those. If I am feeling like a treat or have created a big enough deficit I will get some candy! )))

I usually never eat anything at the movies, don't feel the need to, plus it ain't cheap! I hardly go to the movies anyway and last time I had half a bag of popcorn just cause it was free (and I hadn't begun counting calories or anything). If I had to buy something there, perhaps I'd do plain popcorn. Otherwise I'd consider dried fruits, trail mix, or some healthy cereal if you like the crunchy part.

ninerbuff

I support the theaters. Every movie I attend, I usually buy:

2 Nathans hot dogs
Medium popcorn
Nachos
Milk duds
Diet coke

And that's just for me. Easily 1800 calories for one sitting. But who cares...................my movie experience is always good.:happy:

Low fat popcorn popped at home with white cheddar flavor sprinkled on it and a small serving of my custom movie mix: red mini Swedish Fish, Good & Plenty, and Hot Tamales :happy:

allifantastical

I sneak in a diet coke, string cheese, and a 100 calorie pack of chocolate covered pretzels.

MzSierra1

I don't eat at the movies. When I was a kid, they played 2 shows plus cartoon and intermission. Now it's only one movie. I figure for just sitting through one show, it's not worth it. Calorie or money wise.

El_Cunado

Small popcorn w/jalapeno slices & butter.
Large Coke/Pepsi.

SteelySunshine

Smuggled in food usually. Partly cuz I am cheap, but mostly cuz I don't like movie theater food. And it's hard to find stuff that fits my particular needs. I do get hummus and pretzels though because that is something that fits my budget, my particular needs, and they taste pretty good too.

Mario_Az

i take my own popcorn get skinny pop good stuff

SilverLotusGirl

I smuggled in some beef jerky and berries to one movie, and some almonds to another.

Bring in your own food.

CassieReannan

I actually fit it into my day and treat myself, bring my own popcorn and drinks.

jamiek917

agree with most of the other people on this thread. not paying for that crap (both in terms of being overpriced and every single thing being junk food). i bring my own snacks!

AprilRN10

I share junior mints with my daughter or I have a pretzel with mustard. I drink coke zero.

dlanoux

Get a big purse, and smuggle in healthy snacks and bottled water. When you pack your own healthy snacks you can have what you like. I have been known to pack my purse full of healthy goodies.....I usually have to pack a variety of stuff for my husband and three teenage boys.

GameOfPounds

Last time I went to the movies,I ate a small pack of pringles (43 g) and a can of peach flavored iced tea. If I take something bigger I'll eat more..
