Unhealthiest cinema theater treats

[terry78]

You want to see all the nominated films before the Oscars. Admirable goal. Just use our guide to find the smartest snacks at the Cineplex so you don’t gain 10 pounds doing it!

CANDY

Sweet ‘n’ sour stuff tends to be lower-fat than chocolate, but it’s still dessert. Size counts too!

Worst: Skittles (7.2 oz.) 826 calories, 9.7 grams fat
Better:Twizzlers (6 oz.) 606 calories, 3.8 grams fat

Best: Sour Patch Soft & Chewy Candy (3.5 oz.) 375 calories, 0 grams fat

Serve up these low-Calorie Super Bowl Foods for game day!
POPCORN

Yes, it’s a whole grain, but a large has close to the number of calories many women need in a day!

Worst: Large buttered popcorn 1,640 calories, 126 grams fat (That’s almost two days’ worth of fat!)

Better: Small, no butter 400 calories, 27 grams fat

Best: Kid size, no butter 300 calories, 20 grams fat

COLD TREATS

Frozen fruit? Always a winner. (7 fruits to eat this winter.)

Worst: Toll House chocolate-chip cookie ice cream sandwich 490 calories, 23 grams fat

Better: Butterfinger Loaded ice cream bar 290 calories, 19 grams fat

Best: Edy’s strawberry iced-fruit bar 120 calories, 0 grams fat
CHOCOLATE

Unfortunately, most concession stands offer only one size (and who isn’t going to eat the whole box?). So go for something in a smaller package to keep portions in check.

Worst: Peanut M&M’s (5.3 oz.) 786 calories,39.3 grams fat

Better: Junior Mints (4.75 oz.) 595 calories,10.5 grams fat

Best: Milk Duds (3 oz.) 371 calories,13.1 grams fat

Did you know that chocolate along with these other foods can boost your mood?

HOT SNACKS

In general, beware of anything with glow-in-the-dark cheese.

Worst: Nachos with cheese 894 calories, 52.5 grams fat

Better: Hot dog with ketchup 315 calories, 19 grams fat

Best: Soft pretzel 310 calories, 4 grams fat

[Immortalfire]

I am very hungry now.


jk...I don't even get theater snacks usually. I eat before the movie.

 

[Addendum]

I bring in my own food

 

[terry78]

My daddy sneaks in canned pop along with chips he buys at the gas station down the street.

 

[SuperFerret]

I sneak in food and soda too, but I will get some popcorn, extra butter.

 

[The Lizard]

Best: Milk Duds (3 oz.) 371 calories,13.1 grams fat

How about Milk Duds with artificial butter poured into the box?

That would cause a chemical reaction, spawning a heart attack with the first bite.

 

[The Lizard]

On a similar note, I think movie theaters should offer deep-fried candy bars.

 

[terry78]

They are right about those Skittles though. One regular size bag is like 250 cal. Now how can something with 100% vitamin C and based on fruit be that bad?

 

[CELTICPRED]

I don't eat anything, I just get a large mountain dew. Uber sugar and calories.

And caffiene.

I'm surprised I haven't seen that. In the south, we'll deep fry anything

 

[Sentinel X]

When I brought candy at my movie theater it costed me 3.50 ...for a box of Milk Duds, expiring in a week WTF!?!?

 

[DDS]

Mmm...Sour Patch kids...

I've never been to a theater that sold ice cream.

Same. On very rare occasions I'll get some popcorn... but normally I'm too full from whatever I've just eaten.

 

[PyroChamber]

I truly don't care much about the food being healthy or not; the prices, on the other hand, I do care about.

You knw how much sugar fruit has nauturly?

a lot.

then you candy it and it becomes sugar city.

I think AMC Theatres is the only chain of theatres I can think of that sells Ice Cream.

 

[Addendum]

I've never been to a theater that sold ice cream.

The closest I've seen is Dippin Dots, but it's just the vending machine

 

[CELTICPRED]

Dipping dots. Never liked them.

 

[Red Cherry Lips]

Sometimes I'll munch on a hot dog before the lights go down but bottled water is usually enough. i really don't like to eat if I'm watching a $10 movie on a big screen.

 

[Addendum]

I eat when I watch a movie at home, so I don't see the difference with eating during a movie at the theater.

 

[CELTICPRED]

A lot more expensive food.
