Brother, this morning I only drank milk and ate one egg. Is that okay?

Not really. Milk and eggs are nutritious, but there’s no staple food. Without bread, steamed buns, or oatmeal, you’ll get hungry very soon.

Then can I have plain rice porridge and pickles next time?

That’s not very good either. Plain rice porridge and pickles are too simple, and there may be too much salt. Eating like that for a long time isn’t good for your body.

I also like eating fried dough sticks! They smell so good!

Fried dough sticks are tasty, but they’re too oily, so you shouldn’t eat them often. A good breakfast should have eggs, milk or soy milk, plus bread and a little green vegetable or apple.

So breakfast should include so many kinds of food!

That’s right. Chinese people often say, ‘The plan for the day starts in the morning.’ When you eat well in the morning, you’ll have more energy to study and play.
