Use a Pattern and Matcher along with regex eating\\s*(.*)\\s*for breakfast, which is a capturing group between the 2 keywords

String str = "I'm eating filet-o-fish and hashed potatoes for breakfast";
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("eating\\s*(.*)\\s*for breakfast").matcher(str);

if (m.find()) {
    String inside = m.group(1);
    System.out.println(inside); // filet-o-fish and hashed potatoes
}
