Question

I am used to 'have' breakfast in the morning. is this right?

I thought 'have' should be 'having'

but in grammar after 'used to' the original form should fellow right?

so i am so confused.

Please give me right answer and why.

You are corrrect. I am used to having breakfast [= it is my usual activity].
However, to discuss a customary action in the past = I used to have breakfast (but probably not any more).

Don't confuse "used to" with "BE used to" (BE = am, is, are, was, were, ...)

I used to go; She used to have; They used to do; We used to see
(I regularly went; She regularly had; They regularly did; We regularly saw)

I am used to going; She is used to having; They were used to doing; We are used to seeing
(I am accustomed to going; She is accustomed to having; They were accustomed to doing; We are accustomed to seeing)
