Healthy movie theatre food?

Question

What is the healthiest thing to eat at a movie theatre? At the theatre I go to, there's the typical counter stuff (popcorn, nachos, candy), New York Fries, Tim Hortons...

Do you think I could sneak something from the food court? I generally like to eat the more healthy alternatives at malls, so Cultures or something.

Thanks for your answers =)

Also, I know it's okay to indulge in movie theatre food occasionally but because it's the summer, I've been indulging a bit more and I'd like to cut down.

Answer 1

You could have popcorn with no salt or butter.  That's actually not that bad for you.  Or you could just hide some nuts and raisins or something.

Answer 2

Sneak grapes in. Apples are too loud. Grapes are silent.

Answer 3

Well you could try to sneak some healthy snacks in your purse but if you don't want to do that then get some popcorn with no butter or salt added. Popcorn is one of the healthiest snacks you can eat ( with nothing added )

Answer 4

yea, you can sneak in anything, they can't really do anything about it, as long as you keep it hidden. it's not like they can serch you!

but if you feel like splurging on over-priced concession stand candy, then go for the raisonettes. they are a bit healthier, and hey! you can even fit part of your daily fruit serving in there!

also, pretzels with cheese are good.

but stay away from the nachos and extra butter popcorn and gummi and all-chocolate candy. those are really bad for you, not to mention pricey =]

good luck!

Answer 5

There is nothing healthy to eat at a movie theatre....maybe frozen yogourt is the only thing I can think of.  Yes, sneak something more healthier in from the food court.  I always pop my own popcorn from home and sneak that in...although movie popcorn is always a treat..mmmm...all of that greasy butter.

Answer 6

bottled water

Answer 7

fill up a baggie with some strawberry's  and sneak them in  yum i love strawberry's..... and i think its great your thinking healthy its good your aware of  of the fact.. more kids should think like that .. good job ....

Answer 8

Sneak in rice cakes

Answer 9

there is no such thing as healthy theatre food or from the food court for that matter.  if you want healthy food sneak it in from home.

Answer 10

all that c**p at the movies especially the nachos would be loaded with fat. If you get a small unbuttered popcorn that is healthy.  or some fat free candy. If you want to sneak something go for it. I dont really think they go around and inspect the food you are eating. They probally wouldnt notice unless you were eating out of a chinese container or something.

Answer 11

Well you could always try to sneak your food in, but if you get caught you might get kicked out.

But sorry to say theatre food anywhere is not healthy!

Answer 12

I usually sneak a little bag of pretzels in my purse:)lol

Answer 13

"Healthy movie theater food."  Sort of an oxymoron.

And, Food court?  Not much better!  

If you really HAVE to eat something, go for the popcorn, but even that isn't that good for you, because they either bring it in in bags, and it has preservatives and c**p in it, or they cook it in hydrogenated coconut oil  (scary stuff!)

Answer 14

Hide carrots and vitamins in your pockets.

Answer 15

when i go to the movies, sometimes instead of eating popcorn i sneak in some grapes. Very healthy, yet great for snacking discreetly.

Answer 16

for a normal person, i would say sneak some grapes in, but i acually got a mango and a peach in once! happy healthing!

Answer 17

I always sneak subway into the movies

Answer 18

a big bottle of water, a pickle, and every theatre has air popped popcorn that has nothing on it. i know cause i worked at a theatre... what else, junior mints,

Answer 19

sure you can 'sneak' some of your own health snacks in like carrots, crackers, or whatever. But popcorn isn't really "unhealthy" if you get light butter.

Answer 20

In some they have Yogen Fruzes, and that is somewhat healthy.

Timmie's also has yogurt parfaits (in Canada anyways, I'm not sure if the menu is more limited down there), but also, I don't see anything wrong with just taking a water bottle and some rices cakes (the good kind, the flavoured ones) or some dried fruit.

Answer 21

Sure you could sneak some things in but i think popcorn without butter is pretty healthy. Oh and pickles are pretty healthy lots of salt though. Beef Jerky? cheese guess what you depends on what you think is healthy

Answer 22

bring popcorn from home. popcorn is healthy but a lot of theatres put junk in it and fatty stuff. Bring ur own- sneak it in!!

Answer 23

popcorn with no butter or salt is surprisingly healthy for you and will fill you up quickly.

Diet Coke has ZERO cals!

Twizzlers are not THAT bad for you if you want something sweet...

and! don't forget to share with your friends! Then you're not eating that much... of course you don't have to eat at the movie theatre... you could get a diet coke and then go get something healthy AFTER the movie...

either way, have fun and good luck with your choices!
