Elon Musk reveals simple high-protein breakfast routine

Elon Musk is one of the world’s wealthiest individuals and runs several major companies. However, according to Musk, his morning routine is not nearly as luxurious as many people might imagine.

Speaking on a podcast, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX shared details about how he starts his day. He revealed that he prefers a very simple breakfast.

According to Musk, he likes to begin his day with a protein-rich meal. His breakfast typically includes eggs and steak because he believes starting the day with protein is important for maintaining energy levels throughout the day.

“I don’t like eating bread for breakfast, but I do eat eggs and steak because they help boost energy,” Musk said. He explained that while carbohydrates can provide a quick burst of energy that energy often drops rapidly as the day goes on.

“We consume too many carbohydrates which causes energy levels to rise and fall very quickly,” he added. Medical experts note that protein helps maintain muscle strength and supports overall health.

They also point out that eggs are rich in several essential nutrients including protein, vitamins such as B12 and D and minerals like selenium and iodine.

In addition, eggs contain choline, a nutrient that supports brain functions such as memory, cognitive performance and nervous system health. A protein-rich breakfast may also help control appetite.

One study found that people who eat a high-protein breakfast tend to feel full for longer periods and are less likely to experience hunger between meals.
