With the latest Oscar's season behind us, the reckoning moment is here: watching all those amazing movies in the past three months, elbow-deep in a popcorn tub, can really pack on the pounds.
Consider this!
One large tub of buttered popcorn and full-sugar soda contains as many calories as an adult should consume in a single day. And that is BEFORE you get your free refill.
Movie-watching make-over tip:
1. Skip snacks at the movies--save money, calories, and time standing in line. Treat yourself to a small treat afterwards and talk over the movie with friends.
2. Pack small treats from home--a bag of pretzls for that salty, crunchy urge, or bite-sized fresh fruit.
3. Order the small bag of popcorn, eat it slowly and share with friends.
4. Walk or ride your bike to and from the movies--build a bit of exercise into your movie-watching habits.
See you at the movies!
