Elon Musk reveals simple protein-rich breakfast routine

Elon Musk: The world’s richest person and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has revealed that his morning routine is far less luxurious than many might expect, despite his immense wealth.

In a podcast appearance, Musk said he prefers a simple, protein-rich breakfast to start his day, typically including eggs and steak. He said he avoids bread and carbohydrate-heavy foods in the morning.

“I don’t like eating bread for breakfast, but I do eat eggs and steak,” Musk said, adding that protein helps maintain his energy levels throughout the day.

He explained his belief that carbohydrates may provide a quick boost in energy but can also lead to a rapid decline later in the day.

Nutrition experts note that protein-rich foods can help support muscle health and improve overall well-being, while eggs also provide essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium, iodine and choline, which supports brain function.

Studies further suggest that high-protein breakfasts can help regulate appetite and keep people feeling full for longer, reducing the likelihood of frequent snacking.
