What is a Complete Breakfast?

This week Reactions is answering the age old question of what makes a complete breakfast. Wake up today to a big bowl of science and chemistry.

It’s the most important meal of the day. Or is it? Breakfast has been the topic of much debate. For years, we were told to eat a complete breakfast. But what does that even mean? Should a complete breakfast include eggs, or should you avoid them altogether? Does any of this apply to brunch?
