    Why are you sneaking in a snack? I'm a huge fan of movie concession stands!

    Cute dog .. almost as cute as mine :D

    Diet soda and air popped popcorn

    Or here's a trick .. don't snack .. it's mindless and you don't actually need to eat in the 90 minutes or so you're watching a movie .. just take a drink

    Diet Coke and Candy Floss. A 50g bucket of Candy Floss is only 200 calories. It also feels like a lot if you are just nibbling it as well. :-) Enjoy the film.

    Eat a healthy meal or snack before you go and then you won't need to snack at the theater. I went to a movie a couple of weeks ago and didn't have anything while I was there because I ate before I went in. If you need something, take a bottle of water or flavored water.

    BTW...my dog is cute too! :smiley:

    I've never heard of Sour Patch Kids - but it's 375 calories for a 40g bag

    can't you afford that?

    I eat before I go and just get a water. Or I eat super good all day so I can get a small popcorn.

    They serve good popcorn at most movie theaters.

    Popcorn w/o extra butter or salt is a reasonable snack! It's 200kcal per serving. It's also a good source of fiber (4g/200kcal), has some good fats, and is lower in sodium (1mg/kcal) and sugar and saturated fats and trans fats. I'm a frequent moviegoer and almost always partake.

    Also remember, lifestyle change, not diet.. and you control your portion. :smile:

    Get a bottle of water, bring a Mio with you and add a squirt to your water. I agree with petunia 773

    I try not to eat anything either. We usually do dinner and a movie so the eating takes care of itself. What is candy floss? However on those days when it is just movie I do have a small popcorn
