what to eat at the movies?

im going to the theatre to watch a movie tonight...is there any snacks that are healthy for me to eat there?

You could bring ur own snacks. Maybe a granola bar, or make ur own trail mix.

lol... no, there really is NOTHING healthy there. i second what sour_sips said.

I've seen a similar thread to this. Pick up a tootsie roll pop before you go. They sell them at the drugstore or liquor store, only 25 cents! It lasts a long time, tastes good and only has 60 calories. Keeps your mind off popcorn, etc :P

If you have your heart on getting something there and I do sometimes. I pick things that last longer. Like dots,licorice,and others a long that lines. There lower in calories then some candies but also take awhile to eat. Food like snickers takes 1 minute and high in calories. If you like the bring your own. You could make a 100 calorie pack popcorn before or bring some kind of longer lasting candy or treats.

HAHA my friends always make fun of me for sneaking in a subway sandwich! hey.. it's healthy, WAY less calories than the movie popcorn, and i get to enjoy diner and a flick at the same time!

nwoodrum I never seen or heard someone do that. LOL! That's a good idea tho. I should try that!

I bring my own healthy snack. it's is a lot cheaper and i enjoy a movie and still get to munch. I don't think their is anything healthy at the snack-bar. Maybe a small popcorn without salt and butter (im not a popcorn fan).

I always sneak in a 100 calorie bag of popcorn in my large purse.

i usually bring a sandwich and some sort of 100 calorie pack...one time i brought in tomato soup lol!

Bring your own, or you can have a pickle or some popcorn and ask them not to add any extra butter.

haha yeah i was actually thinking to go to subway and sneak in a sandwich lol thats hilarious.....oh and tomato soup? now that different lol

i don't go to the movies very often, but when i do venture out i bring ROASTED CHICKPEAS! they sound weird but they're incredible! they're super easy to make too. i would rather these than potato chips any day.

all you do is:

drain a can of chickpeas, coat in however much olive oil you like, season with whichever spices you fancy and bake for 30-40 minutes at 350F. Then sprinkle with salt.

(i've heard you can dry roast them without any oil but i havn't tried that yet)

i like to bring an apple or an orange cause they're yummy!

I make my own air-popped popcorn and bring it in a ziploc bag.

Even if their popcorn wasn't full of oil, seriously NO popcorn is worth $5 for a bucket. 

I bring my own unsweetened tea, too. 

The only thing I ever eat at movies is popcorn.  Candy just doesnt go with movies.  I love popcorn.  Seriously I pop a bag in the morning, put it in a  baggy and eat it during school.  My teachers think I need to gain weight so they dont care if I snack in their class.  You could pop popcorn at home and then bring it with so its not as expensive (money or cal. wise)

I always take what I call the "movie theater" purse. Lol! This jumbo sized tote smuggles in 2 cans of diet pop, a baggie of reduced fat wheat thins, baby carrots and a tub of hommus. Also my brother has been know to pop a whole bag of pop corn and stuff it into my bag :-). Special K bars or granola bars are great too, and they can fit into a normal purse! :-)

  One time rushing out of the house to get to the movies after my mom had already made dinner - I grabbed a spinach & asiago cheese chicken sausage, wrapped it in a paper towel, stuck it in my coat pocket and snuck it in with me to eat.
