Dr. Tom Crawford from Oxford has developed a formula for the perfect breakfast, aimed at helping travelers get the most out of hotel dining.
The idea for this formula struck Mr. Crawford after he learned that a quarter of Britons put their plans on hold because they overindulge at breakfast buffets.
What the Perfect Breakfast Formula Entails
Contrary to popular belief, Dr. Tom Crawford insists that breakfast should always start with hot food, not cold.
And here’s the bad news for those who love to lounge in bed: the mathematician claims that the ideal breakfast should begin precisely at 8:17 AM. The formula also specifies what to eat and in what order. According to Mr. Crawford, there are several key components to a breakfast buffet, with the type and quantity of food, the start time, and the duration of the meal playing crucial roles.
The formula outlines each of these variables, as reported by the Daily Mail. The optimal solution is based on the habits of the average vacationer.
So, to have the best experience at a breakfast buffet, you should arrive at 8:17 AM and eat two plates of food.
What should be on the first plate? One toast, a serving of eggs, a portion of beans, two slices of bacon, and two sausages (vegetarian options are acceptable).
The second plate should be consumed 16 minutes after the first to aid digestion. It should include: two slices of smoked salmon, two servings of fruit, one pastry, and one yogurt. You should also add a bowl of cereal. Who would have thought that having a scientifically-backed breakfast isn’t that complicated!
