Frittata is an easy to cook meal, for any time of the day. You can add whatever ingredients you like to this dish, making it a great meal to use up leftovers in the fridge when there is nothing else to eat! It is also super quick to prepare, meaning it can be great for the busy athlete lifestyle. Serve it with a salad on the side, rocket or spinach leaves on the top, especially if there are not many vegetables in it.
