sunflower seeds. and a bottle of water with mio in it. if I feel the need to have sweets I go to a store before hand. the boxes of candy are usually smaller and less calories. for what its worth.0

Somehow I've resisted the urge to eat while at the movies. And I don't really know why it's such a past time considering the cost is akin to a second mortgage. The popcorn must be sprinkled with cocaine, something, there has to be a reason, please tell me. :sad:0

Nothing.
Few times I do bring stuff, I don't usually eat it til after the movie. I'm too busy watching the movie.0 -
If i go to the cool theater, I have a Blazin bacon cheeseburger. If I go to the crappy theater that costs more, I eat before we go and I just take my whiskey flask with me and suffer through.. :frown:

I get a small popcorn and ask them to only fill it halfway....0

Off plan~ What ever I want...usually candy and a drink.
On plan!~ Diet drink/water and protein bar..blah. lol0 -
I look at movies as a reward. It becomes an official cheat day, though I don't have too many. I enjoy myself with the family and go crazy. 4000-5000 calories ain't gonna hurt you for one day. Especially when we've been doing it for years right? If I can't really ENJOY the movie, I may as well stay home and watch my TV, netflix and stay on track. Mentally, we all need a break.0

A giant pickle! I know some places don't sell them but all movie theaters in NM do. Small popcorn, sneaky sneak some fruit?0

Nothing
Im going to the movies tonight and honestly dont see why people feel the need to eat during a film0 -
Nothing; the food is overpriced and I don't want to waste my calories on movie food.0

I live in a smallish town so I never have issues bringing in outside food in my purse. I often pop my own popcorn on my stove top and season it with a little cumin or nutritional yeast. I also frequently bring in frozen grapes, veggies and hummus, lara bars, coffee or green tea and a sealable cup, and of course water.0

Haha, I like the way you think! I think it is important to have mental breaks too, personally I pick times maybe every few weeks or couple weeks when I don't count a meal like last night I went out with friends and I'm sure I was over by a few hundred cals but it was a special occasion.
Peronsally when it comes to movies, I don't go often but I used to like the slushies and I've actually brough sushi in before!! haha I bet a cut up apple or other treats like that would be good. Perhaps bringing your own shake of healthy stuff too.I look at movies as a reward. It becomes an official cheat day, though I don't have too many.

I really hate going to the movies, so I only ever go under the condition that I can get popcorn, which is one of my favorite snacks. It makes the experience a bit more tolerable for me.
My husband and I usually split a small with no butter, so that's only about 200ish calories for my portion (depending on the theater).0 -
at least two buckets of the "refill" size popcorn (super large) and a large soda.0

I sneak in a box of cracker jack. I worked in a theater in high school.....totally over "theater style" popcorn.0
-
I usually get "buttered" popcorn, sour patches and an icee0
-
A box of sugar babies and a diet coke.
Or I wait and go to Cold Stone after the movie.0 -
I usually bring my own candy or snack, pre weighed/measured in a baggie. Cheaper than those inflated concessions prices, and I know exactly what I'm eating with no impulse buys or guess work.0

Popcorn and a Diet Coke. We only go to the movies once every few months, so I've never worried too much about the splurge.0
