What To Eat On A Movie Date
It's easy to forget about your healthy eating habits when you're crushin’ on a new love. Just because you’re falling for a new hottie, doesn’t mean that you have to fail at being healthy! Plan ahead for your next movie date with these helpful hints!
-
Pack that Purse! Grab your biggest bag and fill it with your own snacks. Skip the candy and bring fruit instead! Don’t forget to bring a bottle of water so you aren’t tempted to drink sugary sodas- add Crystal LIght for sweetness!
-
Portable snacks: Luna bar (or any bar under 180 cals) or 2 baby bell cheese or a string cheese or bag or small bag of soy crisps or a small bag of grapes (don’t go for the apple, too crunchy and will annoy the other movie goers especially your date)!
- Be Smart when Buying Sweets! If you can’t resist the urge to buy some candy, shoot for ones that are lower in calories like Twizzlers, granola bars and gummy candies.
Tyra:
“I love licorice! It is my favorite thing to get when I go to the movies. The problem is I can never decide between Twizzlers and Red Vines!”
Stay Fiercely Healthy!
BONUS TIP! Share with your sweetheart! The more you share the less likely you will be to over indulge! Also, wait to open your snack when the movie starts… so many of us open it up when the preview starts and then we look for more snacks when the movie starts. No good!

What’s your favorite movie snack? What are you willing to give up to keep your shape in shape?

Frozen Icy's and Reese Pieces are my fav, but now I just bring water and only take in enough money to buy my ticket that way Im not tempted to buy sweets!

the bottle of water idea works for me! it beats the bigg ol cup of large soda! and its healthy and 0 calories!

I always pack my biggest bag! Now just to make sure I put the right stuff in it! Sometimes its more difficult than it would seem if you have a date (my hubby) who loves his sweets! ;)
My favorite movie snack is popcorn.

I don't know if you have to necassaraly give them up... Although it's expensive. You can get certain snaks but get them in less or if push comes to shove share the snack with the date. Eating certain things is ok if take ... moreI don't know if you have to necassaraly give them up...
Although it's expensive. You can get certain snaks
but get them in less or if push comes to shove share
the snack with the date. Eating certain things is ok
if taken in moderation. (That's just me personally)

Ginger chews made by The Ginger People. I get them at Trader Joe's. They're spicy, sweet, and ridiculously gingery, and there're only 3 ingredients - sugar, ginger, and starch. They're impossible to eat fast, so I don't ... moreGinger chews made by The Ginger People. I get them at Trader Joe's. They're spicy, sweet, and ridiculously gingery, and there're only 3 ingredients - sugar, ginger, and starch. They're impossible to eat fast, so I don't scarf them down, and the picture on the package always makes me smile. :) As far as what I'm willing to give up to keep my shape in shape...? I don't know. I've lost significant weight just by subbing in healthy for not healthy, but I've never completely given up any one food. It's easier for me that way. Once I ban something, then it's all I think about.
