Zoe Saldana made light of her stay-slim secrets on Wednesday.

"I mean, I don't work out a lot, but I like to eat healthy," she says in a new IFC "Comedy Bang! Bang!" clip. "I haven't had lunch yet..it's very Hollywood, I know…It's not the only meal you can skip in one day."

But Saldana's physicality was not always something people took as a joke.

In the June issue of Allure magazine, her weight was published on the cover. While the magazine received a lot of backlash for it, Saldana defended their decision.

"It's not the first time that people have said, for such a delicate-looking person, you're very tough. And I think that was the idea that they wanted to get across as a compliment to what they saw in me," she said.

Her whole interview for IFC's "Comedy Bang! Bang!" airs Friday at 10 p.m.
