Record holder swimmer Michael Phelps here is his diet 12000 Calories :D :D

[Stark]

US swimmer Michael Phelps made history yesterday when he scooped a record-breaking 11th Olympic gold medal. He has now topped the podium five times in Beijing. After his latest victory, he revealed the secret behind his six-days-a-week, five-hours-a-day training regime: an extraordinary 12,000-calorie daily diet, six times the intake of a normal adult male. This is a typical day:

Breakfast

Phelps kick starts his day and his metabolism with three fried-egg sandwiches, but with a few customised additions: cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and, of course, mayonnaise.

Amuse-bouche out of the way, he throws back two cups of coffee and sits down to an omelette - containing five eggs - and a bowl of grits, a porridge of coarsely ground corn. He's not finished yet. Bring on the three slices of French toast, with powdered sugar on top to make sure there's no skimping on the calories. And to finish: three chocolate chip pancakes.

Lunch

With breakfast wearing off and the hunger pangs biting, Phelps downs half a kilogram - ie a whole packet - of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches. On white bread with loads of mayo on top. To remove any chance that his body will run out of fuel, he washes this down with about 1,000 calories of energy drink.

Dinner

Time to load up on carbs for the next day's training. Another half kilo of enriched pasta goes down the hatch with a chaser of an entire pizza and another 1,000 calories of energy drinks. And so to bed. As Phelps told US television channel NBC yesterday: "Eat, sleep and swim, that's all I can do."

[240 is Back]

[Bluto]

[tommywishbone]

All media nonsense.

[jtsunami]

[SAMSON123]

12,000? I count less than 6,500.
All media nonsense.

I AGREE

[Bluto]

you think he only eats breakfast, lunch and dinner?

[aliamini]

Hahaha

Doped athletes always fear the confrontation of “Anabolic Steroids” in a conversation … how much protein he is taking??? He gets muscular with no protein!!!

It is a shame sometimes when you see an athlete talk about sports nutrition yet know nothing … of course to the naked eyes “the regular public” it is true … but I guess anyone who know the basics of nutrition knows it is all nonsense

Misleading leads to losing credibility … everyone will know the truth eventually

[chester_bbb]

Why does he still look like a twink?

Have you seen Lance Armstrong?

[Method101]

did you see the interview with him when they told him he was the greatest olympian?

He looked like some eminem wannabe with his baseball cap on the wrong way around and said "well its a uh pretty cool title i guess uhuh". fucking disgracefull wigger.

slightly more alive than you mr charisma   

[The Coach]

Hey Aliamini. Anyone who knows sports nutrition and training elite athletes would know it would be hard for him to compete on that level with damn near anything less.

I don't agree with the choice of foods (but in his situation it doesn't matter)but anything less would make difficult to sustain his training. If you want to debate this I'll be back on my computer later. But just for the record.....stick with bodybuilding.

[McFarland]

Whole lotta hatin' in this thread! 

[Camel Jockey]

He swims 30 hours a week! So of course he's gonna need those calories
