Phelps 12,000 calorie a day diet

[JacoLesFlea]

thats alot of grub


Phelps has to keep his intake up in order to compensate for all the calories he burns during the 30-hours per week he spends in training. He told NBC that an average day might have the following menu:

Breakfast: 3 fried egg sandwiches, 2 cups coffee, 5-egg omlette, bowl of grits, 3 pieces of french toast, 3 chocolate chip pancakes

Lunch: 1 pound pasta, 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, energy drink (1,000 calorie)

Dinner: 1 pound pasta, 1 large pizza, energy drink (1,000 calorie)

No, that would cause him to explode, maybe in the pool All protein and carbs and TONS of them. Any fiber would with that mixture could be dangerous I'm sure he heats more fiber when he's not competing.

Dude, I would fall asleep directly after finishing the last bite of my chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.. Only way to consume that and remain alert is to work-out and train, otherwise a normal person would be lethargic.

Also known as the "food coma".

[TheDarkReaver]

yikes, he trains hard.

[Croox]

I just figured it out it takes me 4 days to consume 12k worth of calories


I couldn't eat that much in one day, it would kill me

[GeneralElectric]

I eat about 1,200 calories a day.

Yikes, that dude is going to be a fatass.

[Kgoodrich]

I saw this and am reasonably skeptical, could a nutritionist possibly describe this?

Have you seen him? He'd only become a fatass if he ate that way and wasn't doing intense physical training all day every day. Like jady.

To be honest, I've got no idea who he is.

Well I'm no expert but I know that athletes ofthen eat diets with high levels of carbohydrates when training.

[Joe Gress]

Wow. I maybe get 1000 calories a day.























Jady, you fatass.

[TheDarkReaver]

did anyone hear how nbc described him when he became the greatest olympian ever? The called him "the winningist athlete". The BBC presenter was taking the piss out of them for it

[JacoLesFlea]

[TheDarkReaver]

He's got the record for most gold medals in his career though, becoming the most successful Olympian ever.
