Side Note about Movie Food

Going to see Inception in a little bit and in doing my research for snacks I found the following info to
horrify/amaze you.....

Large Buttered Popcorn (20 cups): 1500 calories, 116g fat, 90g carbs

Hot Dog (1 dog with bun): 305 calories, 4.5g fat, 23g carbs
Nachos with Cheese (large, 4 oz): 1101 calories, 59g fat, 131.5g carbs
Soft Pretzel (large): 483 calories, 4.5g fat, 99g carbs
Cotton Candy (2.5 oz): 300 calories, 0g fat, 74g carbs
Junior Mints (3 oz): 320 calories, 5g fat, 68g carbs
Milk Duds (3 oz): 340 calories, 12g fat, 56g carbs
Sno-Caps (3.1 oz): 360 calories, 16g fat, 60g carbs
Raisinets (3.5 oz): 380 calories, 16g fat, 64g carbs
Gummi Bears (4 oz): 390 calories, 0g fat, 90g carbs
Goobers (3.5 oz): 525 calories, 35g fat, 55g carbs
Twizzlers (6 oz): 600 calories, 4g fat, 136g carbs
M&M's (5.3 oz): 735 calories, 31.5g fat, 105g carbs
Skittles (6.75 oz): 765 calories, 9g fat, 166.5g carbs
Reese's Pieces (8 oz): 1200 calories, 60g fat, 138g carbs
Starburst (24 pieces): 480 calories, 10.5g fat, 99g carbs
Red Vines (one of my favorites) 140 calories, 0 fat, 35 carbs (3 points for 4 pieces)....

I have (after eating a very good lunch of stir fry - with assorted frozen veggies, egg whites, veggie chik n strips, onion, peppers and teriyaki sauce, oh and 2 light & fit yogurts and coffee for breakfast) 16 points left for today.  I plan to share a medium popcorn (without butter = 10 points if I don't share), skip the red vines and drink a diet soda.  And when I get home I'm going to have chocolate (sugar free) pudding to end the day.

Back in the day I would have gone and gotten myself a medium buttered popcorn, box of Red Vines, large diet soda and if I was really in the mood for snacks I'd throw in a box of Raisinets.

Knowledge is power and I do want to be healthy more than I want to eat all that stuff.

One day. One pound.  One step at a time.
