          Time: Why You Eat the Same Thing for Breakfast Every Day

          December 13, 2021

          Time recently interviewed Carey Morewedge, Professor of Marketing, about his recent study examining how often people eat the same meal every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Professor Morewedge’s research studied the food diaries of 2,624 people living in France and 1,275 people living in the United States.

          The data shows 68% of all participants choose to eat the same thing for breakfast every day, with varying meals for lunch and dinner. The lack of variety in breakfast meals as Carey explains, can be caused by biological and cultural factors, but mainly stems from the two goals people pursue when eating meals.

          “Hedonic goals drive people to eat foods that provide pleasurable experiences and sensations and utilitarian goals drive people to eat to efficiently fulfill other objectives such as weight control, health, convenience or efficiency.”

          Carey Morewedge
          Professor of Marketing

          Carey concludes although habits are difficult to change, they are easy to maintain. By eating something for breakfast often enough, although it may be less appealing but is overall better for you, the diet should be easier to maintain.

          Carey Morewedge

          Carey K. Morewedge is a Professor of Marketing. He researches how high-level cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and mental imagery influence consequential human judgments and decisions. His research is distinctive in elucidating how these basic processes influence judgments of utility—the value or pleasure that experiences provide—often more than the physical properties or market value of experiences. Judgments of utility are consequential as they determine which experiences people choose, how much of experiences they choose to have, and how much money, time, and effort they will spend to acquire or avoid them.
