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!”
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!
Stay fiercely healthy!

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 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.

Oh, almost forgot All that "drop" (it's what Dutchies call all soft,black candy i.e. liquorice) is very low in calories but fairly high in sugar. Do not eat too much of it, or You'll be bouncing around like mad on the Mo ... moreOh, almost forgot All that "drop" (it's what Dutchies call all soft,black candy i.e. liquorice) is very low in calories but fairly high in sugar.

When in The Netherlands some time in the future, You should check out their drug-stores. They got more types of liquorice than You can imagine! Whole aisles full of it!!(and Gummy-bears& jelly beans too )Although a fair warning should be in place; do NOT,under ANY circumstance try their "double salty drop" It's ab-so-lutely groce! Makes Your mouth cringe in an unbelievable manner....

My favorite movie snack is chips and dip and im willing to give up the chips and dip to keep my shape in shape.
I never thought about doing that. But sharing with the honey - I always do! It's the best way to not get over the top fat added to my already big booty! lol
