A Balanced Breakfast

Today I went to breakfast in the hostel. I grabbed two pieces of toast, an egg, and a banana. The man on the other side of the counter started talking to me, and without any comprehension of what he was saying, just be some hand gestures and a pleasant demeanor, I put together that he was indicating that I try the cheese spread. I got some and put it on my plate.

He turned to the person next to me in line, who explained that actually he was saying that I am not supposed to get fruit if I take and egg. I said okay, and left the line with both my egg and my banana, because I wanted both the egg and the banana.

Apparently I have to be sneaky in order to have a balanced breakfast. That and I'm totally confused as to the reasoning behind this, all I can think of is the food budget, but there seems to be plenty, so I don't know what exactly is the problem with having both one banana and one egg.
