    Why is eating at the movies such a big deal for some people? Even at home I like to eat something when I watch a movie.
    and we wonder why there is an obesity problem out there..
    Yeah... I'm sure it's from snacking at the movies a few times a year. Give me a break. It's a treat.

    OP I like Blue Diamond Wasabi Soy Sauce Almonds while I watch movies.

    its the attitude that says its a movie I am going to have a "treat" because its "movie time" ..a treat for the average person is going to be a bucket of buttered up popcorn, super sized drink, and a box of candy ...so movie time just turned into calorie blow out time...

    Even so, calorie blow out time as a part of an overall calorie conscious diet isn't a problem. Plus, OP and others in here are looking for more nutrition conscious options. What's wrong with happening to have a snack during a movie?

    my obesity comment was directed at the prevalent attitude that BC it is movie time it is ok to eat, which adversely affects those of us who are not health conscious ...

    as for eating at the movies, I really could care less...just find it curious why one has to have a "snack" just because of going to the movies...what is difference between that and snacking while watching tv at home...why do we always have to be eating?

    Please get off your high horse.

    I like to eat several times throughout the day. Do I need to? No, but I like to, and it has no affect on my weight loss. That's why people eat during movies. Because they like to.

    I usually bring a snacksize bag of those flavoured mini rice cakes. I'm not sure about brands/bag sizes in other countries than the netherlands but packages here are under 150 kcals and I feel like they're more than enough to get through the movie

    I also grab a snack sized bag of HOT peanuts for nibbling - awesome for treats!
    I haven't had the nerve to show up with my own popcorn yet, so I always buy the small sized, unbuttered.
