Did you know Aditya Roy Kapur has stuck to the same kind of breakfast for almost a decade now? In conversation with Kareena Kapoor Khan on her podcast What Women Want, he once shared his go-to meal to start the day with.“I’ve been eating the same breakfast for the last 8 years, I think. It’s basically oats, infused with some flavour, and eggs are also infused in that. You don’t even come to know there are eggs in it. You don’t feel eggy, it feels really nice. And I get a kick of something sweet in the morning, with a little fruit,” he told the host.Is it a healthy meal?Deepalakshmi, a registered dietitian at Shree Balaji Medical Centre in Chennai, told indianexpress.com that this meal provides a balanced mix of complex carbohydrates, quality protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants, making it a well-rounded choice for starting the day.“Oats offer slow-digesting carbohydrates that help maintain energy levels and improve digestion thanks to their fiber content. Eggs contribute high-quality protein necessary for muscle repair and satiety. Berries add antioxidants, which help reduce oxidative stress and support immunity, while nuts offer healthy fats that benefit brain and heart health,” she explained.According to Deepalakshmi, the health benefits of this breakfast extend beyond basic nutrition. “It helps regulate blood sugar levels, keeps hunger at bay for longer periods, and supports metabolism and muscle recovery — particularly important for individuals who follow an active lifestyle,” she said.
