Hey all! I love going out to the movies with friends! But I hate the price and the unhealthiness of movie theatre snacks! Does anyone else sneak stuff in? Whats your top 5 list of sneak in snacks? I like to bring carrot and celery sticks, fruit (mostly apples, strawberries and grapes) Nuts, and Kashi crackers.

I went to the movies last night and actually did well just getting a small popcorn and diet drink. It was 319 calories but I saved them through the day so I could enjoy it. I was as satisfied with a small bag and felt like I'd had a treat from having a good week. I sometimes take in the Mini Rice Cakes in Caramel or Cheddar, they are similar to popcorn but are only 90 cal per packet.
I do like the movies as a treat so I normally save the cals during the day and have a small popcorn .0 -
Last time I just took some Crystal Light sugar free hard candy and a bottle of water and I was a happy girl!0

Bottled water, Almonds or Cashews , Grapes , Special K bars, Cereal or 6 Twizzlers (a serving size and my all time favorite movie snack).0

Maybe try skipping snacks all together -- there's no reason to be pushed by commercialism -- and peer pressure -- to feel that you should be eating something. Stick to your three meals a day!!0

I can't resist the popcorn! I just get a small popcorn and bring a bottle of water and I am happy0

I don't ever feel like I need a snack at the cinema, it's only a couple of hours at the most and there's no pause button or kitchen cupboard to wander off to. I think we should be weary about eating whilst we're doing something else, like watching a film, cause that's when you stop paying attention to what you're eating. Plus I tend to go late evening, when I've naturally stopped eating for the day anyway. A bottle of water and I'm good to go0

I work in the cinema so if I ate when watchin films I'd be huge, part of my job is to check the film before showing to public so I've done 3 in 24hrs not to mention goin with friends this week.
We allow food to be *snook* in as long as people don't take the mick, I hope you take ur rubbish away though as I hate picking up anything thats been near peoples mouths like apple cores X-P
Btw back to the answer if I do have something its water and a kids box ^_^ yum!0 -
Hhmmmm.....I haven't gone to the theater since starting mfp. That is the only time I ever drank pop. If I went now, I would drink water and still get the popcorn. But I rarely go to the movies, and for me, eating movie theater popcorn twice a year isn't going to kill me. If I didn't have any calories left for the day, I would just drink water and chew gum.0

Pop a mini-bag of popcorn at home and bring a large purse!0

Always sneek in a bottle of water! Sometime some almonds, but most of the time I do not like to eat and watch movies.0

The movies theater where I live actually cares enough to take away the things you sneak in if they catch you during the movie. So, as bad as it is, I usually sneak in boxed cookie dough bites because I know they sell them there and wouldn' t know if I bought them or snuck them in. Plus I save almost two bucks doing it that way.0

i sneak in a gigantic bottle of water and some gummy bears, usually.0

1. Water
2. 90 cal peanut butter fiber bar
3. OR a special k bar
3. When I buy Sun Chips I separate them into little baggies so I might bring one of those0
