The Michael Phelps Diet is Making Me Fat!
Michael Phelps diet is making me fat
I’m on the Michael Phelps eating plan and I don’t understand why I need a forklift to get out of bed and don’t have ripped abs.

Dear Cuckoo,
I’m surprised you don’t have ripped stretchmarks. Write back after you’ve worked out along side the human dolphin for a month.

Phelps, 23, will swim 17 times over nine days of competition at the Beijing Games – meaning that he will need all the calories he can shovel in his mouth in order to keep his energy levels high.
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.
