Michael Phelps Diet!

Michael Phelps stands at 6 feet 4 inches and some say he has a size 14 foot, but what makes Phelps uniques is his Olympic diet.

After grabbing his record breaking 11th Olympic Gold Medal, Michael Phelps, at the 2008 Olympics just recently revealed the secret to his incredible body and Gold Medal results.
The secret he would have you know behind his physique is an astonishing 12000 KILOCALORIE PER DAY DIET! So next time before you think you can't grow although you eat alot, think twice!

This is 6 times the normal amount of an average adult male, but for Michael Phelps this is just a normal day. Of course his diet does go along with a muscle building 6 day per week, 5 hours per day intense training program both in and out of the water.

Here is a regular day in the life of Michael Phelps:

BREAKFAST
Phelps begins his day by supercharging his metabolism with 3 fried-egg sandwiches, but with a few customized embellishments: cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and, a large dollop of mayonnaise. 3 fried-egg sandwiches, not 3-fried-eggs sandwich. As soon as he is done with that light snack he inhales 2 cups of coffee and silently begins working on an omelet which consists of 5 eggs - and grits, porridge of coarsely ground corn. Well he's just getting started. Let's bring the 3 slices of sumptuous French toast, with powdered sugar on top to MAKE SURE THERE'S NO SKIMPING ON THE CALORIES! And finally lets not forget the 3 chocolate chip pancakes. With breakfast out of the way let us take a look at lunch; after all he is a growing boy. Practically this is the total of food I eat on a busy day!

LUNCH
Well Michael Phelps starts lunch with a 1/2 a kilogram, a whole packet of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches. On white bread with loads of mayo to boot. To guarantee that he will have plenty of energy for his grueling workout he quickly downs a 1,000 calorie energy drink.

DINNER TIME!
For most people so far the idea of more food maybe as welcome as a frontal lobotomy, but it is time to kick the carbs up for tomorrows workout. Get set for 1/2 a kilo of enriched pasta and to make sure nothing is left out let's eat entire pizza and a 1,000 calorie energy drink. Phelps was recently quoted: "Eat, sleep and swim, that's all I can do."

DAYUMM! (drag DAMN)

But I'm pretty sure that's only the highlights. I'm sure he has snacks in between workouts and all which he doesn't wanna scare us all off with! Long live King Phelps!
