Olympic super-champion Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day - six times the amount consumed by the average male. In one day, Phelps will consume (among other foods) an entire pizza, a kilogram of pasta, and 5 stuffed sandwhiches. Here is a typical daily menu from the legend himself:

Breakfast

  • Three fried-egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
  • An omelette -- containing five eggs.
  • A bowl of grits.
  • Three slices of French toast, with powdered sugar on top.
  • Three chocolate chip pancakes.
  • Two cups of coffee.

     

    Lunch

  • Half a kilogram of enriched pasta.
  • Two large ham and cheese sandwiches on white bread with mayo.
  • Energy drinks (about 1,000 calories).


    Dinner

  • Half a kilo of enriched pasta.
  • A whole pizza.
  • Energy drinks (about 1,000 calories).

    Antisemites seem to have invaded this site with their bitter intolerance. Let's hope the NowPublic team does something about it.
