Take the movie, leave the popcorn

I keep meaning to post something about this, and it just came up in conversation so while it’s on my mind I better do it.

We went to the movies this weekend — I took my niece to see Planet 51 while Kelvin took his parents to see The Blind Side. I always stuff snacks in my purse, or at least I have since the great weight loss journey of 2008. And this is why:

Theatre	size	calories	fat	sodium
Regal	medium popcorn – 20 cups	1,200 calories	60 grams	980 milligrams
AMC	medium popcorn – 9 cups	590 calories	633 grams
Cinemark	medium popcorn – 14 cups	760 calories	3 grams

Here is a link to the NYTimes article where I pulled this from
