It's probably most people's favourite place to go, it's the movies. I love it! Bet you didn't know I like action movies, I'm also a closet science fiction fan (I can't believe I just shared that). The problem with cinemas is the horrendously bad and expensive food.
By the time you've put away one of those buckets of popcorn and enough soft drink to fill the Wivenhoe dam, you've probably exceeded the calorie intake needed to drop kilos. Most of us don't even stop there we then inhale a sack of malteasers or gummi bears. All of this in a two hour window, and the big problem is you're so distracted about what's happening on the big screen, you don't even notice just how much you're putting away.
So what to do? Well I've found most cinemas are in shopping centres and inside these shopping centres have fruit shops and supermarkets. These shops have a wide selection of fruit, sometimes you can even get a good deal with really ripe stuff that's going to go to waste soon. If the cinemas you go to are not in shops your going to have to be a little proactive and bring something from home or stop by a free-standing fruit shop on your way.
I replaced a giant sized popcorn and fizzy drink with a punnet of strawaberries and a bottle of water a little while ago and felt great. 49 calories versus 1490 calories is a big difference, dont you think?
