I've eaten the same breakfast, and the same Sweetgreen salad for lunch (in 6-12 months streaks) for the past 5 years. The reason it works so well for me is the reduction in needing to make decisions every day, and feeling bad about having made the wrong choices.

I like this because this is in a part of my day where I need to focus on work, and being productive, and don't need to be distracted by food decisions.

I also LOVE food - so dinner, and weekends, are times where I actually love making decisions about where to eat, what to eat.

What is your breakfast, if you don't mind to share?

not OP but I've eaten two eggs on toast every morning for a lot of my life

For some time now I've been tempted to start eating eggs on a toast for breakfast daily so I'm curious: has this impacted your bad cholesterol?

[Aramgutang]

The notion that dietary cholesterol affects blood cholesterol is outdated, and is not supported by evidence (with some exceptions, e.g. for diabetics). Modern nutrition advisories no longer recommend limiting cholesterol intake.

Not OP, but I've been eating 3-4 eggs (usually hard- or soft-boiled, but occasionally scrambled with bacon or sausage, never with bread/toast though) almost every weekday morning for the past 5 years, and all my recent bloodwork has shown cholesterol levels in the healthy range.

Dietary Cholesterol, Serum Lipids, and Heart Disease: Are Eggs Working for or Against You?

However, large-scale epidemiological studies have found only tenuous associations between the intake of eggs and cardiovascular disease risk. Well-controlled, clinical studies show the impact of dietary cholesterol challenges via egg intake on serum lipids is highly variable, with the majority of individuals (~ 2/3 of the population) having only minimal responses, while those with a significant response increase both LDL and HDL-cholesterol, typically with a maintenance of the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio.

I never had it measured and since I've been doing it since I was about 14 I'm not sure I could judge cause and effect.

Thanks for your honest response. I appreciate!
