swimming is probably the least taxing metabolically since the water constantly keeps the body cool, thus the body doesnt have to expend extra energy cooling itself like it does in land sports

 its common sense you run outside you sweat from trying to stay cool and the fatigue of your weight while runing

swimming youre more weightless on top of that the water keeps you cool so you dont expend more calories

running on a hot day all you want is someone to throw some water on your head to cool off and recover your energy



but its all relative because say when you run you push yourself as hard as YOU CAN GO same with swimming you can only go as fast as YOU CAN GO both reaching similar fatigues in similar times if you pushed yourself exactly the same






its much more comfortable swimming though

Only if running a marathon or a 10,000 M would it be comparable, unless we are talking a swimmer who is just specializing in a single event only, which usually is not the case, but could be.

A marathon would be on par though for expenditure.

The strange thing, Swimming may have been what killed my mother.  You see, after her career was over in Swimming, she was devastated at such a young age.  Kind of went wild, and took up smoking and never stopped.  She died of lung cancer a few years ago.

Hey champ, how many gold medals do you have?  That's what I thought.

Who gives a shit what he says about how much he eats, it's no different than what bodybuilders claim in all their lies and  bullshit.

If you get your panties in a wad over what some athlete says he eats, your life must be fucking miserable.

Go outside and enjoy life, it's way too short to bother yourself with such nonsense.

Krankenstein on here has 9000 calorie days each week and he doesn`t swim.  I`d say Phelps puts away 5-12,000 easily each day.  He burns over 1000 plus calories an hour of training, multiply that by four or five, plus the 3000 he would need just to meet maintenance BMR and you are at 8000.

Pete(the guy in the youtube videos) is one of the coolest guys I have ever met. He almost died from anorexia about 10 years ago.. he started doing eating contests on bodybuilding.com for free supplements and now has become one of the top competitive eaters in the world by far, is pretty jacked in person, has documentaries and many news articles/clips about him. He also has a masters in engineering, so he could easily get a great job but gets paid VERY well to eat. I know it sounds like this is my gay man lover, but Pete has been a pretty good friend over the years.

5k calories is absolutely nothing.. I did that no problem in the offseason and I lifted 4x a week and maybe did cardio 2x a week and laid around all fucking day. Michael Phelps can easily eat 8k-10k if not more. One of my friends growing up has been running A TON of marathons and weighs no more than 160lbs at like 6' and makes me feel like a bitch with the food he eats, albeit "dirtier".

 Swimming a lot in cold water does not burn calories?

If it's very cold (like winter vs. summer temperatures) you burn a little more energy in the cold if the duration/intensity are the same.  Olympic pools are pretty warm though (80 degrees F on average).

Dude, that guy has a workload that none of us can possibly comprehend.
I dont know if 12000 is accurate, but I guarantee you its a shit ton.

I'm sure he eats a lot but he'd have to be burning like 9,000 calories a day to maintain his bodyweight if he eats 12,000.  Running a marathon burns about 3,000 calories.

In any case Phelps himself has said that story was false and he doesn't eat anywhere near that much so I don't know why we're still arguing about it.

Just wondering why people actually believe this?

Why would he have a workload substantially higher than any other top-level athlete?  And don't tell me you think top-level athletes really "spend 5 hours a day" doing hardcore training?  Genetic tip of the iceberg or not, we're all still humans.  Never has there been anyone born, and barring bizarre genetic experiments, never will there be anyone born, who would actually get benefits from balls to the wall, calorie-destroying 5hr a day workouts...

Phelps is basically a sprinter... in water.  Does anyone believe usain bolt packs down 10000 calories, or even anything close to that?  The dude claims he eats chicken nuggets all day before the race, LOL.  At least he's honest.

Phelps probably is in the pool five hours a day or more... doing a sprint every now and then. it's not like he's marathoning around the pool.  Plus the dude is like 6% bf.  I'm sorry but the 10k figure each day is completely made up.  Yes, I'm aware in interviews he admits as much, but he still says "well i shoot for it every day, but rarely get there" (at least in the interview i read).

In my opinion, he doesn't really know what he eats, he just eats a lot, probably comes out to 5-7k...

I wasnt claiming his workload is any greater than other elite athletes, just that its beyond anything that you or I could comprehend (unless you're an Olympic Athlete, which I doubt).
To me, 7k is an insane amount of food.

eating alot of calories day in and day out will build you up to handle hard labor but not sprinting events

dont swell yourself short, are you saying phelps is twice the man you are? or even 25 percent stronger or what are you really saying?

hes just a lean kunt who was probably always active even as a child had lots of kids to play with and never got fat

Phelps is basically a sprinter... in water.  

Swimming is much more aerobic than running at the same distance.  His shortest race is the energetic equivalent of about the 400 meters in track, which is technically a sprint, but it's the longest one.  His other distances would be like the 800 and 1500 in track.

Nobody's ever been simultaneously the best at the 400/800/1500 in track.  One guy has won gold in the 400/800 in one Olympics.  Guys have won three distances in one games though (Paavo Nurmi, Emil Zatopek).

yep.  i don't see what could be so "unimaginable" about his workouts.  in this day in age, there is plenty of training footage of professional athletes across a variety of sports posted all across the internet.

the inescapable conclusion:  it's about what you're born with, not your ability to drive yourself into the ground with gruesome training.  people who try, fail.  but god bless the "hard worker" who at least "gave it his all" ::)

Right, but still, we're talking about races that are done in what, under 3 minutes?  It's not like he's non-stop just flying back and forth across the pool for hours on end during his training, haha.

That wasn`t my peak Johnny as the power to weight ratio is not very good there.

As I said, I weighed a fat 235 lbs.  315 for 6 at 235 is horrible by any good lifter standards.  You and I both suck at lifting because we have long arms and limbs.

I ran track for 6 years in addition to swimming.  Swimming is much more difficult and the practice is not a sprint every now and then.  Its lap work and duration for the most part.  MUCH MUCH more difficult then track.

You oughta go and find a college swim team and ask to practice alongside them and then make your judgement call.  You will need at least 4-5000 calories minimum to make it through and be able to perform the same the next day.

http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/balancedliving/michael-phelps-squashes-those-12-000-calories-per-223817970.html

Competitive swimmer Michael Phelps rose to fame after winning a whopping eight gold medals in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing (that was after picking up a not-too-shabby four during the '04 games), and the world suddenly took an interest in all things Phelps, from his devoted mom to his dating life to the number of calories the 6'4" super athlete consumed. But as for those reports that the Baltimore native, now 27, consumes 12,000 calories daily (including full pizzas and two dozen eggs) daily to fuel his rigorous training schedule, well, it's not true … not exactly, anyway.

"People make a big deal out of what I eat, but it's not that crazy. I had a three-egg omelet and three pieces of French toast and coffee this morning," he tells Details magazine. "For recovery, I think it's a big deal to eat within a half-hour after you exercise. Otherwise I just try to put carbs into my system before I swim and then load up on the protein after. I don't count calories. Whether it's Sour Patch Kids or Reese's or a bag of chips, if I feel like eating it, I'm going to eat it."

Agree about the range.  He never counted calories, nor had a eating plan per se, which makes all of this speculation silly anyways.  I am sure he falls within that range normally with some days really high, others lower.

People tend to have an all or nothing view on things and think that he was walking around with a food diary, ticking off items until he got to 12000 calories which is just not the case.  I am sure he has hit 12000 calories at times and he could handle it easily, but the range would be a more accurate assessment of his eating patterns.

Again, I would LOVE to see you do a couple 100m butterfly runs.  Do some 25m sprints with freestyle.  You would obviously float like a buoy with all your fat, but you would be slower than molasses in winter.  Do ONE 100m as fast as you can and lets see how out of breath you are.

Nice temperatured pool   ::)

I swam until 8th grade.. It was the hardest thing I ever did.. of course I was fatty and had asthma then lol. Now I just live the bodybuilding dream of stuffing my face full of food, fall asleep all day, walk on a treadmill and whine the whole time, then pretend im hardcore because i did an endurance set of 20 reps of something.

He's got some solid nutritional advice though if you need some diet prep for an upcoming show, Krank. I rather enjoyed the off the wall posting when he backed it up with a solid build. Eating meat is bad but risking a coronary from being morbidly obese is ok?

Just wondering why people actually believe this?

Why would he have a workload substantially higher than any other top-level athlete?  And don't tell me you think top-level athletes really "spend 5 hours a day" doing hardcore training?  Genetic tip of the iceberg or not, we're all still humans.  Never has there been anyone born, and barring bizarre genetic experiments, never will there be anyone born, who would actually get benefits from balls to the wall, calorie-destroying 5hr a day workouts...

Phelps is basically a sprinter... in water.  Does anyone believe usain bolt packs down 10000 calories, or even anything close to that?  The dude claims he eats chicken nuggets all day before the race, LOL.  At least he's honest.

Phelps probably is in the pool five hours a day or more... doing a sprint every now and then. it's not like he's marathoning around the pool.  Plus the dude is like 6% bf.  I'm sorry but the 10k figure each day is completely made up.  Yes, I'm aware in interviews he admits as much, but he still says "well i shoot for it every day, but rarely get there" (at least in the interview i read).

In my opinion, he doesn't really know what he eats, he just eats a lot, probably comes out to 5-7k...
exactly!!! just like ppl/joe public think we train 12 hrs a day. they don't train as much or long and hard as you think.

I 100% believe Phelps took that in. I have two Olympians one with a Silver and a third preparing for RIO in 2016. Two are sprinters in cycling (Velodrome) and one a rower (crew). On each athlete I had them give me a three day sample of their eating program. All were below what their needs should have been and were below 2700kcals. After figuring out what they would need based on weight, cal expendature, etc. All were raised to above 5500 to 7000kcals. The BW's ranges between 145-170lbs. This worked two fold in the way that they not only burned more BF but helped break their PR's not only in the gym but on the track and in the water. In other words their performance skyrocketed.

Most people that throw huge kcal numbers around like 10,000 per day, are the same people that say they're doing weights to 'tone up some fat', absolutely clueless about even the basics.

I wouldn't be surprised if Phelps ate 5-6k if his training days involved maybe 3 hours swimming total

I dont give a fuck who they are, Coach says someone was eating 2700 cals and he bumped them up to 5-7000
I call bullshit, he may have told them to eat that much but they didnt, I dont give a fuck how much they were exercising you cant eat that much food consistently at that bodyweight (145lbs)
To eat that much food would mean you couldn't even exercise, cardio after stuffing down food, garbage.

You cant just double someones food intake and expect them to be able to eat it every day.
The guys eating 2700 cals was an Olympic athlete, Im pretty sure he was eating as much as he could and knew a little bit about nutrition, for him then to just double his food intake whilst maintaining the same training routine is ludicrous.

Hey genius, before you go spouting off about shit you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about let me fill you in just a little. 1. These are olympic athletes, that means they do this shit FOR A LIVING. 2. Their training regimen consists of training not just with me, but their other coaches as well. It's a full time job.

You're sitting here trying to justify how someone can eat that much. When you expend that kind of energy in a day, it's relatively easy. Was it easy for them to make that adjustment..not really but it wasn't that hard either. Yes, I do know that they eat at least that much because I hold them accountable. That being said it reflects in their performance. These aren't people who stand on a stage, stick pins in their asses and hardly train.

My serious suggestion to you is to keep out of discussions you know nothing about.

Its not worth the effort mate, you are full of bullshit.
A guy training hard for the Olympics eating 2700 cals suddenly is able to eat 7000 cals at 145lbs bodyweight

Yes, I believe he did eat that every day as well

1. I said between 5500 and 7000kcals. The 5500 is 145, 7000 is 170. And oh, they're all females.

Quote
Almond Butter
Two-time Olympic medalist and beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh Jennings, from team USA says she has a lot of almond butter and honey sandwiches throughout the day, especially before she competes, according to EatingWell.com.

Beans On Toast
Talk about a breakfast for champions. U.K. diver Tom Daley says he has beans on toast for breakfast, according to Yahoo.com.

Clif Gels
When vegan ultra-marathoner Scott Jurek needs a quick shot of energy, he often chooses gel packs from Clif (which he also endorses).

Dry Bars
Well, Team Russia won’t be celebrating with booze this year. According to the Telegraph, the Russian Olympic team and delegation have been banned from drinking alcohol during the games. This was probably a good idea.

Egg Whites
Skip the yellow and keep the white. U.K. handball captain Bobby White likes to eat two scrambled egg whites with fruit juice for breakfast, according to Men’s Health.

Feijoda
When Team Brazil lands in London, we can ensure you that Feijoda will be on their menu. The black bean stew, which is a traditional meal in Brazil, is considered a team favourite, according to PostCodeGazette.com.

Goat’s Head
At the Birmingham base, some chefs were requested to cook up goat head for visiting athletes from the Caribbean. But after failed attempts, they stuck with goat curry instead.

Horse
Turns out the Kazakhstan wrestling team doesn’t like horsing around. The team specially demanded horse sausage for their journey to their games, claiming it boosts their weightlifting abilities.

Instant Coffee
Yes, athletes do need their caffeine. Australian basketball player Lauren Jackson says she likes to mix instant coffee with light milk for breakfast.

Jam Sandwiches
When Paralympic cycling champion Sarah Storey is hitting the road, she says she often gets jam sandwiches handed to her on her route while riding.

Kale
American swimmer Natalie Coughlin says she loves to garden and has a whole bed of fresh kale and herbs.

Lasagna
Swimmer Dara Torres says her favourite dinnertime meal is a turkey-spinach lasagna with garlic bread, a mixed green salad and green beans.

Milkshakes
Diver Tom Daley also likes his chocolate milkshakes, especially at 12:30 p.m., according to Men’s Health.

Nuggets
Nugget lovers, rejoice — you can feel a bit healthy again. During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Jamaican runner Usain Bolt says he was fuelled by chicken nuggets.

Oatcakes
British rower Pete Reed has one ultimate secret for building those muscles: Adding a cottage cheese-covered oatcake to your evening snack, he told Men’s Health.

Porridge
Malaysian badminton star Lee Chong Wei, who is recovering from a serious ankle injury, prefers hot soups and porridges — a staple back home.

Quinoa
American soccer player Abby Wambach says her go-to health foods are quinoa, sushi and Brussels sprouts, according to FoodAndWine.com.

Rice
Most athletes would probably say no to processed white rice, but if you’re in dire need of an Olympian body, add slow carbs like brown rice to your meal plan.

Shakes
It may sound like a stereotype, but athletes really do rely on shakes to get hits of protein and vegetables. They can be full of powder or ‘greens,’ but almost every single Olympian interviewed will inevitably mention their breakfast or post-workout shake as part of their day.

Tuna Steak
Fish is a big deal for Olympians, serving as it does as a source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. For David Roberts, who’s competing in the Paralympics, the perfect dinner consists of a tuna steak and beetroot salad for a hit of both protein and vegetables.

Unsweetened Teas
For those who are running, green tea is a great option to help reduce muscle damage and speed recovery — but for Olympians who are taking in a lot of liquids, an unsweetened option is the best choice.

Vegetarian Diet
There have been many reports of athletes, particularly long-distance runners, taking a vegetarian or vegan approach to their diets to gain strength in new ways. But for the Chinese women’s volleyball team, they opted to stop eating meat because of the possibility of testing positive in the stringent drug tests performed at the Olympics — even if it’s affecting their athletic prowess.

Water
The single most important component of any athlete’s diet, one recommendation includes consuming half of one’s body weight in pure water, as well as sports drinks if required.

Xtreme Dieting
Some of us get concerned when we eat a handful of almonds too many — and then there’s Korean rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae, whose trainers measure her food each day in grams, knowing even the slightest fluctuation in weight could devastate her routines. She does admit, however, that if she had her way, she’d eat pizza and ddukbokki (sweet and spicy rice cakes) all the time.

Yams
Last time around at the Summer Olympics, Usain Bolt’s father attributed his son’s immense speed to the yams that are ubiquitous in Jamaica. And with the country’s athletes favoured in 2012, we wouldn’t surprised to see more athletes piling them on their plates.

Zero Processed Foods
Make sure your food comes from, well, food, say the athletes — and this can’t be news to anyone watching what they eat. According to triathlete Sarah Groff, she sticks to whole grains, fruits and vegetables, not even diving into bars or supplements.

some huge eaters there, where do they get their stats from to quote 8,000 cals?
