    Take a low cal bar (they wont see it) and drink either low cal drink or bottled water (sparkling is good). One scoop of ice cream should be ok, or an ice lolly. Just make sure you calorie count it all. Try to eat sensibly during the day, to allow for these extra calories. Also, take fruit which wont be too obvious. I.e. banana/a few grapes.

    I'm also in the UK (Glasgow) and don't have any problem taking food and drinks into the cinema. Where abouts are you? I just make sure I tidy up my garbage. I usually bring in my own drink and have been known to take a sandwich, if I have gone to the cinema at a meal time!

    Pop your drink/food in your handbag, and don't open anything until the lights have gone off.

    Voila, you've got your own food in the cinema, you've saved yourself ten pounds from the overpriced bits and you're not stacking on calories.

    I'd suggest a piece of fruit, a small packet of nuts, or you could even pop your own popcorn at home if you're desperate for popcorn. Enjoy your movie!
