How many meals should we eat during the day? Some experts claim that the ideal number is between five and six, but the number varies according to the routine of each of us. Traditional ones (breakfast lunch and dinner) are usually present in everyone's daily life, including CrossFit®Games athletes.
A specific meal, however, is considered to be the most important of the day: the breakfast. This, if done properly, can increase satiety, reduce your daily calorie intake, improve the quality of the diet - as breakfast foods are higher in fiber and nutrients - and improve insulin sensitivity for subsequent meals.
