For too long we&#8217;ve been stuck with strict government approved time slots for shoving food into our face slots.&#8221; He continued claiming that he even gets hungry during breakfast, confessing &#8220;I need something to tide me over while my fork makes the journey from my eggs to my potatoes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Man, we&#8217;ve all been there.

Ideally a snack should stay between 100-300 calories, depending on your activity level. Some healthy choices might be a of low-sugar yogurt, an apple and a handful of almonds, or a banana with peanut butter. Hummus and veggies is also a great option. Anything with a\u00a0little healthy fat and protein will satiate us best.<\/p>\n<p>So with that in mind, here&#8217;s to healthy snacking! And let&#8217;s all do ourselves a favor and steer clear of the kind of second breakfast Colbert poked fun at.
