I'm going to the movies tonight and don't really think anything is a good choice to eat! What to you eat or bring (shhh lol) with you???

I really think they should offer healthier choices at the movies!

    LOL I was just thinking about posting this same thing. I'm thinking I'll have to bring something. Nothing there is a good option, not to mention waaaay too expensive for what you get.

    I bring Nature Valley oats and honey granola bars. Much better than popcorn. And you can get it passed the food security.

    Grapes would be an excellent choice!

    I always take plain popcorn, a bottle of water and sometimes a little chocolate treat. You can't go to the movies without some candy.

    I watch the movie and maybe chew gum. All that movie food is not healthy for you and besides it costs an arm and a leg.
    I'd rather focus on the movie I paid to see and relax.

    The last time I went to the movies I took a baggie of carrots and celery and a bottle of water. It was a total success! I'll do it again next time. :love:

    I stopped going - I can't watch without popcorn with butter flavored palm oil, hot dogs, nachos and a huge diet drink,

    That's something I just had to give up.
    No biggie....

    I like the rasinettes, and I always get ice water. I also get the popcorn with no butter and treat it like a meal. If the kids and I see a movie, that is our dinner.

    The movie theater is one place I allow indulgence. I love the popcorn at the theater.

    This is why I only got movies no more than once every other month or so though. :smile:

    I agree with this. Snacks are not an integral part of the moviegoing experience, really, and you can easily learn to enjoy it without them. Plus, if it's not a movie I would enjoy without a snack, I really don't want to spend the $10 for a ticket anyway.

    Surprised the obligatory post about eatting while watching a movie/TV is bad for you since your mind is focused on the script rather then what you are eatting.
    When the rare occassion comes around and I go to a movie, I take my own bottle of water or diet soda {it is a rare occassion so soda is a treat} and some snack such as veggie chips. Leave the carots and celery at home, noone really wants to hear that.
