VIDEO: What CrossFit Legend Rich Froning Eats In A Day (+ 3 Workouts)

Rich Froning knows exactly what he’s doing when it comes to diet, nutrition and fitness. The four-time Individual Fittest on Earth and Mayhem Freedom captain took to YouTube earlier this year to share what a day of eating and training looked like.

At the time of filming, Froning was intermittent fasting, which means he keeps his meals in a strict 8-hour window during the day. Here’s how Rich keeps on top of his game while limiting his calorie intake.
