If you want to be a winner, you’ve got to eat like Mike–Michael Phelps, that is.

US swimmer Michael Phelps has 11 Olympic gold medals to his name, in part the result of his six-days-a-week, five-hours-a-day training regime. As for how to maintain that schedule, he consumes 12,000 calories per day (six times the intake of a normal adult male).

This is a typical day of food for Phelps:

Breakfast
He starts with three fried-egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and, of course, mayonnaise.

Add two cups of coffee and a five-egg omelette with a bowl of grits on the side.

Then it’s on to three slices of French toast with powdered sugar on top, and three chocolate chip pancakes.

Lunch

One pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches on white bread with extra mayo, plus about 1,000 calories of energy drink.

Dinner

Another pound of pasta, plus an entire pizza and another 1,000 calories of energy drinks.

Unless your name is Michael Phelps, I do not recommend this diet!
