Competitors have said the amount of food available, specifically eggs, which were rationed at breakfast on Wednesday, and grilled meats, is insufficient, according to the French newspaper L'Équipe.

The official catering partner to the Olympic Village, Sodexo Live!, confirmed "a very high demand" for certain products and said that "volumes will be increased" to "satisfy the needs of the athletes".

The Olympic Village is set to serve approximately 13 million meals during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"It was requested to revise upwards the quantities initially planned, which the group will be able to satisfy," a spokesman for the Carrefour group, which is in charge of supplying fresh products to the Olympic Village, confirmed.
