How many of you skip breakfast? Or maybe you slam a quick bagel and coffee as you rush to the office? Imagine ingesting the following - just as you begin your day:
— three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, and mayo
— one five-egg omelets
— a bowl of grits
— three slices of French toast with powdered sugar
— three chocolate chip pancakes
— two cups of coffee

Welcome to Michael Phelps' diet! This guy is amazing - and to accomplish amazing feats requires an amazing amount of energy. During his training season, he eats a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet so that he can have the energy required to win.
So what's his lunch like? Phelps drinks 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks, one pound of pasta with tomato sauce (YUM!) and two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread.
Dinner? 6-8 slices of pizza, another pound of pasta (YUM, YUM!) with tomato sauce and another 1,000 calories of energy drinks.
And this is what the guy looks like:
Hummm...Guess if we could all dig deep and swim 43 miles each week, we, too could eat 12,000 calories a day and finally have a physique worth flaunting!
