    I make my own popcorn and smuggle it in. I bring my own water too.

    Grab some sunflower seeds or non-salted peanutes... or you could pop your own popcorn and bring it... or ask for popcorn with no butter

    I take a snack-pack of Butterkist and a bottle of water. With 900 cals though you have a lot of options.

    I carry big purses, so when I go to the movies I usually smuggle in my bottle of water and some fruit or some raw almonds or even a zip lock bag of plain pop corn :)

    Strawberry Twizzlers are a fat-free option! Only 50 calories per Twizzler, so with 900 calories left, you could eat an entire bag! lol

    Hmmm... Sadly, I've never thought of this. You are a GENIUS! Why DO we have to eat?

    I went to the movies yesterday with my boyfriend. I bought the 100 calorie dark chocolate almonds from Blue Diamond. It was perfect. If you have extra calories, I would get licorice over popcorn from the theater. Licorice takes longer to eat.

    Smuggle in a bag of Quaker quakes in the kettle corn flavor. It's about 120 calories for 15 quakes and if you get a small bag, which has about 2.5 servings, you are only eating about 300 calories which is most likely more filling for really low calories compared to anything they have there.

    I love this!! We are so conditioned by consumerism that this is a radical idea, but i love it!

    I am one of those people that must have popcorn at the movies. So I would just have it.
