The most amazing thing about Michael Phelps is his 8,000 to 10,000 calorie diet. Forget the all the gold medals, blah, blah, blah. Eating that much and still staying under 200 pounds is superhuman. Let’s see I ate like that for a time in my life and I ballooned up to 240+ pounds. Thanks to University of Minnesota food services and my penchant for binge drinking. Michael Phelps diet is very well documented but lets see how my diet stacked up against his.
Breakfast:
12” plate – ½ eggs scrambled or sunny + ½ bacon, sausage, or both
1 Plate full of Hashbrowns
1 bowl of cereal
1 bagel with cream cheese
16oz of milk
16oz of Orange Juice
Lunch
2 Hamburgers
Bowl of Salad with Bleu Cheese Dressing and Croutons
Plate of Fries
Potato Chips
20oz of pink lemonade
And surely more food which hit my mouth so quickly I forgot.
Dinner
A plate full of the entrée du jour
Throw in some fries
Salad.
Plate of pasta
Glass of Milk
20oz soda
Dinner #2 ~8pm
Pizza, Subs, Fried Rice, or other Fast Food.
Beer – volumes unknown.
Take that Michael Phelps…I own you as far as our diets go...Sure you burned it all off - I wore it like a badge of honor for 10 years...
