Michael Phelps
An Olympic-Sized Breakfast
As a young athlete, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps liked to visit his favorite diner and order enormous breakfasts like this one. Phelps was then a growing teen, but even as an adult, when his training was extremely intense before the 2008 Olympic Games, he ate an estimated two to three times what is recommended for an active man. Phelps could eat that much without gaining weight because his activity levels were extreme -- he swam six days a week, for up to six hours a day. |
