at breakfast vs in breakfast

Both 'at breakfast' and 'in breakfast' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'At breakfast' is used to indicate the time or location of an activity that takes place during breakfast. For example, 'I like to read the newspaper at breakfast.' On the other hand, 'in breakfast' is not commonly used in English. It is more common to use 'for breakfast' to indicate the food or drink that is consumed during breakfast. For example, 'I had cereal and milk for breakfast.'
