  • Munches on **insert unnecessary snack food of choice that has many calories** at a movie theater even if I'm not hungry?
  • of course your not the only one..i am...(gulp) guilty of it as well...you name it ..ive ate it...ive snuck it in even...(sigh)
  • I used to. Then I found out how many calories movie popcorn has. That was the end of it.

    Large Popcorn (Amc Movie Theater)

    Serving Size: 157 grams, Calories: 868, Fat: 41g, Carbs: 98g, Protein: 17g
  • holy crap! 900 calories?? thank goodness I'm not a pop corn fan

    on the plus side, an icee is only about 80 calories per cup (8 fl)...yay!
  • I have to eat something--even if it is a tiny fun size candy or something.
    What I try to do is bring a mini Clif or Luna bar or granola bar or something like that. I find that if I don't let myself eat anything, I just eat something else bad later. It's all about planning!
  • Yes... You are the only person who eats junk at the movies... Lol j/ k
  • It has always been my habit to buy popcorn and slather it with butter and salt any and every time I go to the movies. Not a small, either- no, it always has to be a large! Sure, my hubby and I might share that large popcorn, but then since you get free refills on larges, we'd share a refill, too. I LOVE LOVE LOVE salty, buttery popcorn!

    Last night we went to see the Hunger Games and I am very proud to say that I did NOT get popcorn. I had eaten supper before we went (which wouldn't have stopped me before), so I passed it up.
  • Not only the movies, when I sit around bored and have nothing better to do, I find myself sneaking in little snacks too
  • I'm normally not a popcorn fan at the movies, simply because they put WAY too much salt on it and the butter tastes like crap
    But...
    I'll down a box of Dots halfway through the movie. @.@
  • yeah - it's part of the ritual. my thing is black liquorice and strawberry twizzlers. wierd, because i don't like strawberry ones at any other time.

    but it's all moot now, since the nearest movie theatre is only open may to sept.
  • I wish I was only eating junk food there...I started going to the CineBistro out here xDDDD and getting an App, entree, and dessert...usually shared but I'm sure they are not skimping on calories(can't find any nutrition info online)...
  • Man now I want movie theatre popcorn... damn you all! XD
  • i definitely like my share of buttery salty hot popcorn at the movie theater....however due to the high prices up here in alaska we only go once a year, maybe twice, with the kids to see a movie that they've been waiting for...its a big deal LOL
  • I am crazy about kettle corn - I'm afraid to even look at the caloric information of that!!! I may have to start sneaking in popped baggies of 100 cal kettle corn instead
  • One of the advantages to being a woman is being able to carry a large purse without anyone blinking an eye.

    Use that to your advantage and sneak in food that is good for you if you need to have something while watching the movies
