My secret is that I eat exactly the same meal for breakfast every single day, for years at a time.

The nature of that meal has changed over time. For the first 25 year of my life, it was honey nut cheerios and milk. That switched over to shakshuka at one point, and then to Wheaties, and then to my current standard of overnight oats /w strawberries. Each time I switched, there was a period of non-standard breakfasts where I experimented, but I would ultimately settle on a specific meal for several years.

My breakfasts habits are very defined by my constricted schedule in the morning. If time and effort were no object, I think there are lots of breakfast foods I would enjoy - I'd probably make a new omelette every day. But that hasn't been practical, and so I've had to compromise and start eating cold pre-prepared meals for breakfast. I like them, though.

In terms of what to eat, you should make sure all the macros are present. I mix in yogurt and protein powder with my overnight oats, and then get plenty of carbs from the fruit and oats. I feel much more energetic in the mornings than when I just ate cereal.

But... you don't have to eat breakfast. Plenty of the most health people I know skip breakfast.
