Healthy movie snacks

You can’t help but eat something at the movie theater. It’s like a ritual. You just have to!

There are plenty of options, but if you’re trying to eat healthy, its like a calorie mine field. We recommend grabbing a bite before a movie so you aren’t stuck with the limited healthy option at the movies. If you just need to get something even though you are not hungry, get a bottle of water, or a diet soda. You know water can help you lose weight? read here how.

But, if you really just need to eat something, go for a serving of nuts- they’ve got protein, heart healthy fats and plenty of antioxdants. If not that, then go for the un-buttered popcorn. It is not the healthiest option but its definitely healthier than that a sugar filled bag of candy, the super-calorie nachos with cheese sauce or the mammoth sized soda servings. Some movie theaters have whole wheat sandwiches, so that’s a healthy option.

And remember your mom taught you to share- that’ll help you get slim. Sharing what you eat is a smart way of cutting those calories. No, stop digging into your buddy’s food!

It’s not easy to skip all that calorie laden deliciousness at the movies, but just think about how tough it is to burn off those extra calories! You know, its not worth it.
