Dieting At the Movie Theater Snack Bar

Going to the movie theater is a fun experience and it often involves a movie and some snack foods. While there are a lot of people who are on diets and searching for good options at the theater. The truth of it is that there aren’t any fantastic choices, but some are better then others.

The Best Bet.
Your absolute best bet is to eat before you go. Skip the snack bar altogether. Not only will you save a lot of money, you will save a lot of calories. You won’t have to worry about choosing great options and you won’t feel like you are missing much. If that isn’t an option then choose your choices with care.

Drinks.
Choosing the best drink at the movie theater isn’t always easy. First if you have to have something tasty and sweet then go for the Icee. It will cost a little more then a soda, but it is made mostly of ice and therefore has a lot less calories. If you are okay going with something that isn’t sweet then choose water or tea. It is okay to go for sweet tea, but remember that it does have more calories. Avoid soda all together and diet soda which can cause cravings.

Popcorn.
Popcorn can be good for you, but when it comes to movie theater popcorn, that just isn’t the case. Choose the smallest size, share it with someone else or get rid of half before you go into the theater, and order it without extra butter. Don’t get the super large size, don’t get extra butter, and don’t go back for seconds.

Candy.
If you have to have candy then choose licorice, jelly beans, or gummy bears. These are low fat options and have fewer calories then a lot of other candies. Avoid chocolate options altogether. It’s also a good idea to share the candy or make yourself save ½ the box so that you don’t eat it all while watching the movie.

Ice Cream.
Ice cream isn’t the most popular of choices at the theater, but if you want some this is where you are more likely to find diet options. Be sure to ask what they have in low-fat and no-fat frozen treats. Pick one of those.

Hot Dog.
A hot dog doesn’t seem like a great food choice at the theater, however it is one of the better options out there. Pick out a hot dog and enjoy an okay food for your life.

Share or Take It Home.
It is a bad idea to eat all of whatever treats that you get. Sharing is a perfect option. The other thing you can do is take part of it home. You can bring a resealable bag to take the other half home.

You can enjoy going to the theater. You can even get a few good treats. You just need to be careful with your choices and remember to only eat a portion of what you get.
