What do you eat at the movies?

[lenshanem]

Does anyone sneak in anything and if so what do you take?

(Especially curious for Atkins dieters.)

Thanks!

I am teaching myself that I don't have to eat anything in the movies - and I used to eat a large tub by myself. The Atkins snacks are all fairly high calory, and I know I can make it through two hours without eating! So can you!!

My sister took my son to the movies last month. I sent a small bag of cashews, a few Russell Stover SF candies and she said he took the bun off of the hot dog while they were there. All in all he didn't miss all the junk we used to eat while there!

SF candy
bottle of water or diet pepsi

I used to always get popcorn or candy at the movies. Now I typically get nothing. Its so expensive and obviously not good for you. I actually don't miss it at all.

My DD and I went to the movies about a week ago. I bought a bottle of water there but I sneaked in a Special K bar (2 pts on WW) in my purse. (Shhhhhhh, don't tell! )

We don't go out often for movies, usually rent but, we went last week to see something I really couldn't wait for and, I snuck in my pears. 1/2 cup in a ziploc. DD got a child-size popcorn and, I didn't eat one *POP*. Would have drank water but at $4 a bottle, I said I can wait.

I have not been to a movie in while but I am taking my DS on Saturday. We are going to see Home the Range. I plan on bringing either baked chips or my own popcorn plus a water.

Nothing. I've never really understood the whole eating in the movies thing. It seems so mindless and I guess I enjoy eating too much - I prefer to see what I'm eating!

I usually bring my own Healthy Choice popcorn and then I buy popcorn there for DS and either a water or diet soda for myself.

I don't take anything. I sometimes have a drink of my DH's diet coke, but that's about it!

Pop Secret no butter popcorn
can of WW soda

I take an Atkins Advantage bar in my purse or I eat a filling low-carb meal before I go, so I'm not hungry.

I refuse to buy anything at the movies (a child's Coke is $2.79!). The kids like to go with my husband becuase he buys them stuff - I don't.

 

[Kelsie]

Spicy Pork Skins and I buy a Diet Coke!

DD on the other hand has popcorn and a candy bar

Okay, sounds like it time for me to confess. The smell of the movie theatre popcorn is overwhelming for me. I love that popcorn so much.

As a result, I have not gone to a theatre to see a movie since I started Atkins. I just am not willing to risk the temptation because the fragrance of that popcorn is just about too much for me to bare.

I usually drink a diet pop or water. The kids have the popcorn. The smell is so good but I am not that big of a popcorn person so having none really doesn't bother me. Now if I stare at the candy counter too long......well that is another story.

I usually have a bottle of water and some zippie bags of different nuts in the 2 portion size (DH helps me eat them). I do walnuts, almonds, macadamias, and maybe pine nuts.

We never eat them all though...... I always have a few bags left over.

 

[wilderness01]

Ok so we went to the show today and I forgot my nuts. All I had was the water and I was dying! Willpower won out and I didn't touch any candy (very hard) or popcorn (not so hard).

I'm on WW and I like to bring in a 2 pt WW pria bar. I used to save to have some of DH's popcorn, but I can do without it now. Oh and I get a diet coke. Sometimes I'll budget for twizzlers or something.
