What Does Michael Phelps Eat for Breakfast? More Stuff Than You Eat All Day

So, people are surprised that a world class athlete has to ingest about 4 or 5 times as much as a normal person?

O...K...

 

that's what i usually eat, but i'm no Michael Phelps.

round is a shape right !?!?!

 

i used to read the muscle media magazines while grocery shopping,and they always had athletes sharing their diets and training tips. I think shanon sharpe would eat around 6,000 and about 4 protein shakes a day.

 

man you know whats sad/crazy not his breakfast, many athletes eat like crazy for their metabolism, but that he has done enough in his life at the age of 23 to have an autobiography.

 

I wonder how many calories he burns in a day of "routine," training?

 

I bet he also has some Hellacious Grits, Homie.

 

regular swimming (say just laps around the pool) for 1 hour typically burns 400-500 calories. now michael phelps goes HARDCORE for 5 hours a day -> so probably burn 4000-5000 calories, add onto that his regimen of weight training and cardio. so i say he burns in excess of 6-7000 calories a day.

 

sounds like a typical breakfast for me....I would probably add a 1 liter Diet DP though..and maybe some chorizo.

No lettuce though...I have to draw the line somewhere

 

fried onions? gross

 

I bet he also has daily drug testing at the Olympics too, homie.

 

Massive Dumps! Like Whale Sized.

 

This doesn't surprise me...He's got to feed the beast...

 

I don't think I'm physically capable of eating that much in one sitting. He's a bigger guy though, 6'4", but they mentioned that he can't crack 200 lbs. Is that a goal, to get a little bigger?

 

Phelps will be eating and ****ing gold if he keeps on wining like this.

See how quickly this bbs made it a "poop" thread?

 

I thought he ate Wheaties for breakfast.

 

I too eat stuff like that for breakfast and have the body of a god........
















Buddha that is

 

I was the same way when I ran college track. I was a sprinter so Phelps & I had roughly the same build but with the amount of training, lifting and working out you do it's extremely difficult to keep your weight up without eating like that.

I couldn't quite house the type of food he can over the course of a day but my breakfasts/dinners were very similar. My college had a daily breakfast buffet type of deal that my teammates & I would absolutely punish. Usually, I did a giant breakfast/dinner with a healthy, sensible and workout-friendly type of lunch before my daily afternoon heavy workout.

Since then i'm still very active but I don't eat nearly what I used to and as a result i'm 20-25 pounds lighter than I was merely two years ago at this time. Achieving/maintaining a desired weight is very difficult to do so if you figure out a way to do it, stick with it!

 

im really shocked at the high fat/greasy content....you would think he would eat TONS of healthy food!
