When you go to the movies and want a snack, what do you eat?

    I usually sneak in some reduced fat cheese-itz and get a small diet coke.

    I bring my own :) I really like popcorn but our theaters post the calories in each of their menu items and after seeing the numbers I couldn't do it. I'll bring ziplock bags of popcorn, apple slices, carrot sticks, etc. You can also buy some small tupperware containers to bring peanut butter, nuts, etc.

    I personally like snowcaps, but think I might go with home popped popcorn and apple slices the next time I go.

    There was a time I would get large popcorn with a choc topped icecream. I also recall smuggling a whole large meatlovers pizza into the Willy Wonka film.

    These days I take my own nuts and berries.

    I don't go to the theater very often, so I eat popcorn when I go. I get a Coke to go along with it. I also have no regrets, and my weight loss is just fine.

    Popcorn with no butter added and raisinets - yum!

    If I've had time to plan for it in my daily calorie allotment, I get a small popcorn (no butter) and a diet coke. If not, I usually go get a little pack of sour patch kids and sneak them in and then buy a diet coke at the theater.

    I would probably get a little popcorn and diet coke, but I go to the movies like once a year (if that) haha. x

    Popcorn with a bag of MnMs dumped into it. Gross, I know - but I love it. =) It's rare treat though since it has more calories than my average meal!!

    We saw Life of Pi a few days ago. I brought along some air popped sweet and salty popcorn, an apple and a raw date and cacao bar.

    I usually get a small unsalted popcorn and sneak in an apple, a few peeled and segmented tangerines, or some cut cantaloupe/watermelon.

    ETA: I also sneak in my 20 oz water bottle filled with ice water. That's just 'cause I'm too cheap to pay for a bottle of water.
