pretzel bites?


Quote  |  Reply

i'm not certain whether or not this is the correct forum in which to post this, so i apologize if it should be elsewhere!

anyhoo...

does any one have ANY IDEA how many calories are in a serving of those wonderful pretzel-bites-with-cheese that you get at the movie theater?

my husband and i have been planning a date for tonight, and it's been months since i've gone to the movies, and i'm drooling just thinking of cheesy-pretzely goodness...

i have been saving my calories all day for a splurge tonight...

i dunno but you could estimate how many of htem would make up a large pretzel adn use that calorie amount. At least that way you have a general idea of what they are.

Try searching for combos, I think thats what your talking about.
278 calories!  if you like extra cheese like me than I would add some for that!
thanks for all your help!

i ended up with cucumber slices and baby carrots, however...;)
Wow, that sucks.

If its something you wanted, and you "saved up" calories, and you are ready for seeing a higher number on the scale due to a probably very high sodium count, then eat it.

Do you plan to never eat one of these things again?  If so, then great!  You made the smart choice.

Personally, I enjoy eating things like this once and a while.  So I do. 

If I can't live with it now, no way I can make this weight loss work

Are you related to the person worried about eating sandwhiches for 2 days?
no...i was allllll about the pretzel bites, but since i couldn't find nutritional info, i wasn't about to eat them and possibly shoot way over my daily limit, so i just took the high road and went healthy.

i tend to think that when you're doing mindless (movie) eating, you don't even really 'taste' it so much...it's more the repetitive activity...

i'm a firm believer in life being too short to not indulge occasionally.

and nope...don't know who that is, but i love me some sammiches!

Pretzel Bites from J and J Snack Foods are the ones used in the movie theaters. The calorie count for these is 150 calories per 5 piece serving, and 4 calories from fat. Not sure about the cheese, but depending on size of the tray used, the calories will vary. At the theater I go to, they come about 15-20 pieces in a tray, the smaller trays probably 10-15 pieces. I share them with my wife because of the tray size, so I usually will have about 10 pretzel bites.
