Many nutritionists argue that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that a power breakfast is the secret to keeping one fully charged throughout the day.
For the world's most successful investor however, a power breakfast does not consist of any eggs and granola. Instead, Warren Buffett, 84, downs an entire can of Coca-Cola every single morning.
In a recent interview with Fortune, the third richest man in the world added that he would sometimes have Coca-Cola with potato sticks or ice-cream for breakfast.
"I'm one quarter Coca-Cola," Warren Buffett said to Fortune when a reporter asked about his comments regarding the death of Coca-Cola president Don Keough.
The billionaire, whose company owns 9.2 per cent of Coca-Cola, said that he has at least five cans of the soft drink every day - three in the day and two at night.
Fortune quoted Buffett as saying: "If I eat 2700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it everyday."
There is about 35 grammes of sugar in each can of Coca-Cola, which is 10 grammes above the World Health Organisation's recommended daily intake. Doctors and nutritionists have longed warned that too much soda could lead to obesity and other health problems, but this does not seem to faze the investor.
When asked why he chooses such an unhealthy diet, Buffett said that he decided to eat like a six-year-old after finding out that the lowest death rate is among six-year-old children.
