A data analysis of surveys from more than 23,000 Americans who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that they were getting nearly one-quarter of their total daily energy intake—400 to 500 calories—from snacks. The survey asked each participant to make note of what he/she eats over a 24-hour period.
