We all know he won the gold(again) but what does he eat?

"Phelps' diet - which involves ingesting 4,000 calories every time he sits down for a meal - resembles that of a reckless overeater rather than an Olympian.

Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.

He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.

He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks."

4k per meal? I eat between 3k-4k a day and even that is considered a lot.

As long as he burns those calories, he's okay. They need energy to workout, those energy drinks will bite him in the ***.

Uhhh... when you spend 6 hours a day in the pool working out you need it.

XGrave

Wont he get sick? I know if you eat before you go into a pool you'll get a stomach ache or something. This guy is eating A LOT and he is gonna work out after that. How does that work?

So just because he eats alot means he can't wait 1 hour for it to digest? doesn't make any sense.

Honestly, i wouldn't be questioning if he can do it or not. It works and hes won 5 medals so far. So if anything i would be copying him.

Hes a professional swimmer, and would greatly kill anyone in a swim, so be more amazed and less questioning what he does...

4k calories he does...
