  • What to Eat At the Movies

    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
