Going to the movies!

I want to take my son to the movies. And the movies just dont seem like the movies without buying popcorn. Anyone know where to look to find out how many calories I would be looking at if I bought your standard buttered popcorn at the movie theatre? 

A small popcorn has about 500 calories... Large is 1500... Average...

Thanks, that was fast! I love this site. :-)

Thanks t

lol No prob :)

You could consider calling the manager and explain that you're on a diet and don't want to have all their callories.  Ask if you can bring your own, but pay them for it as if you bought it there.

Our movie theatre has never had a problem with me bringing in healthy snacks. I just tell them I am on a diet restrictions and they say "no prob"

I have never seen a sign on any movie theater that says no outside food or drink, I used to always bring snacks in for my kids, I absolutely refuse to pay the inflated prices for the candy.  The only thing we buy at the theater is pop, we buy the refillable cup for $1 refills all year.

I love having popcorn at the movies, but I definitely do not need a jumbo tub to myself. So I usually get the kids pack. Its about $5 (at least thats what it costs here) And comes with popcorn (less than a small) and I get it with a diet coke. It also comes with candy, but its not usually something i like so I skip that.

Once I am done eating that I am usually engrossed in the movie and not hungry (nor super guilty)

eek 500..... thats just plain frightening. I think Im going to go for the fat free sugar free yogen fruz instead..... or bring an apple o.o

i bring in my own, I have a large bag and sneak in it through that.
