you can ask professional bodybuilders and swimmers who need to eat this much food, just ask them and they will tell you how much it sucks to have to eat this much. at this point, eating becomes a chore, something you do because you are forced to, thats what they are doing, forcing themselves to eat this much because if they don't, their bodies won't be able to work as hard as they need to. many of these guys HATE meal time
@oconstanti Swimming is tougher than running and burns more calories. Not to mention the respiratory workouts with it that also burn calories even faster. Of course he does not swim all the time but you must remember a there is a lot of protein in his diet which you would not want to completely use up.
@7drift0king2 It's probably true.I was a pro swimmer for my country's national team and my daily food comsumption was quite a lot too.For lunch I ate at least three plates of pasta and a steak, and I'm a female.
@miellikkiful It doesnt matter, I bodybuilding, and consuming that much calories, especially the carbs that do not get burned will be stored as fact. 12,000 calories a day is bullshit. The anchor for this video probably consumes that much cause he's a fatass.
BS - Michael Phelps is laughing at anyone who believes this. Just goes to show how many in the media, jump on any story without actually verifying it.
12k calories per day? It's physically impossible to do so and maintain performance. Even sumo wrestlers wouldn't consume this much. Let alone, a lean framed swimmer.
@DawgFL There's no way. Even half that amount would ensure weight gain, even when training at an 'elite' level. You could work out for four to five hours a day and still gain weight when consuming 12000+ calories.
Just think about eating the biggest meal you've ever had, say a 3000 calorie monster feed. Then Imagine doing that 4 or more times a day and then instead of undoing your pants and flaking out on the couch you go and train. It wouldn't happen. A little common sense goes a long way.
@w0y1z92753 Not understanding what you're getting at but i think your trying to say that sumos cant eat that much?
if it is then, sumos do workout for 4-6 hrs a day to keep up strength, and they eat about 2 meals a day. but those meals can be as large at 10 normal meals for an average man. and of course the weight gain is good because that is their goal
his hunger would go down if he stopped training, and keepin in mind when he eats all that its difficult and he has to push himself to eat all that, if it was easy for him to eat 12000 calories a day then hed be pushing himself to eat 15000, so if he stopped training it would probably be a relief he doesnt have to eat all that
im sure once michael stops his olympic swimming career he still will swim and exercise everyday, slowly decreasing his metabolism and slowly going to back to normal. its not like hes going to hit the coach once hes done with the olympics
You morons, the reason he consumes that much calories is because the body burns much much more calories in the water!!! duhh.. if he didn't consume that much calories then he would lose way too much weight so he has to balance things out, that lucky bastarrd ehh? :P
I'm sorry but I don't believe a word of this. I think they released this data as a joke, no athlete eats that way. The calories, okay but pancakes, pizza, everyday? come on!
Poor Phelps, can't believe anyone else doesn't see this as a problem. Having to use so much body killing fat, salt, sugar and caffine just to do what he loves.
If someone was a champion using only 800 cal a day, them that would be something to be amazed and happy for.
when you stop excercising, ur need for food lowers. i experience it myself because im a swimmer and i eat 8000 calories a day. after my highschool, my swimming stopped and so did my diet. your body reacts to what you do
i dont really understand how he can eat that way...being an athlete I know you need extra calories, but you need them from foods that actually have nutrients...were are the fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy fats?
@crazyhb4 healthy foods have too much fiber. athletes actually don't need that many more vitamins and minerals, but they do need more calories to keep their weight. If he was eating healthy high fiber foods, it would make him feel too full to eat more(try eating 10 000 calories from apples, chicken breast and black beans). As far as protein goes, I bet all those calories give him more than enough even if it's just 10-15% protein
What the fuck kind of diet is that for an OLYMPIC swimmer? I wouldn't be caught dead eating that much junk ass food, if I'm doing what he does. Wow... his body probably just doesn't care what it eats, just as long as he eats.
@LibertyInProgress Its a ton of carbs which he needs for the energy to train like he does. Tri-athletes eat the same way, its just getting alota nutrients and energy to keep you going.
@toddw14 Well, I guess he gets a good amount of protein from what he eats, which is obviously important. But all the fast food junk going into his body along with it seems like it would be more than harmful. I guess not. It's also about metabolism and what your body can take, too, though. Whatever it is, God bless him for being able to do what he does while eating like shit.
It's not that much food at all. Minus the breakfast it's about what I'd eat, and plus the breakfast is only a little more then I'd eat when I'm doing intensive physical stuff. (I don't quite eat that much breakfast when I'm on the march all day, but still quite a bit.)
Plus Michael Phelps is a big guy. Big guy + lots of activity burns alot of calories.
@realcampusman If what you're saying is true, why isn't Phelps fat? He is faster because he is physically gifted and trains harder than anyone else. Nitric Oxide? Yeah, and Michael Jordan won all his championships because of his Nike shoes.
@realcampusman lol teach phelps then. He obv has medical support, and of course he must live with supplements otherwise he would die in a pool. And i've been a swimmer for a long time and sports are not about KILLING CALORIES. Maybe rock climbing is, tho.
i want to be an olympics medallist i gotta start training... im having a mega pizza and 2 fetuccini alfreado for tonight... next week starting with the swiming.... hahahaa
This guy is right how is he going to re adapt his metabolism back down to normal when he retires? Because it could cause him to get fat or underweight but he probably has food trainers
When most people are in training, they will be taking in about 10,000 calories on average. The "Normal" ammount of calories that someone should be taking in (i like the median is 2,000 on most packaging), it that they expect you to literally sit on a couch all day. If you get moderate exercise, you should be pulling in 3-4k a day. Now 12k is quite a lot, but only slightly larger than any other athlete in the world, even high school athletes. Also about the Fast Food, that's the bad kind of fat.
So, I'm a swimmer, and we're are supposed to eat alot!!! I eat a lot, just not during, my swim competetions. My friend (right now #1 in USA for 13boys 200mbk) eats A TON!!!!!! he can eat so much!!!!! so i totally understand how michael can eat all this!!!
Michael Phelps' anaerobic threshold is very fit, but putting your digestive system under such horrendous pressure is not healthy. Add that to the fact that his diet (if this meal plan is exhaustive) is completely made up of "dead foods" void of any nutrients the irony is he is probably highly malnourished. I am a huge fan of Phelps as an athlete and a person and it pains me to say I would be surprised if he lives past 35 y.o. sustaining his current lifestyle.
This isn't that surprising. OK, it still is, but it makes sense. The more athletic you are (and the more you work out) the more you have to eat. When I'm working out hard/playing sports I eat a lot more than when I'm just chilling as well. You're just naturally more hungry.
@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD not really, doing exercise reduces your hunger but it requires more food so you can not die from physical exhaustion you get what im saying?
his diet would be a lot more beneficial if his meals were a little smaller and spread out to about 6 or 7 meals a day, but i guess if your training you dont have time
@deadmau5ARGURU Ha. He doesn't need that. Put it this way, we guys need healthy food as we don't burn all that up, but it gets stored in our body. If the food is good, we will not be obese, but healthy. Michael Phelps doesn't need that, since he burns up every ounce of fat and carbs that he eats while swimming.
@panda123456789ed I do not understand anything you said. When someone eats this amount of food over a course of 3 meals, it can be very stressful on the digestion process. The body has a harder time absorbing nutrients from the food when 2 or 3 thousand calories are consumed. So eating more frequently , and less would allow his body to better abosrb the calories he needs for his lifestyle.
@deadmau5ARGURU Now that's a better argument, I agree to an extent. But perhaps, his swimming has earned him a very fast metabolism, so he has no trouble absorbing that. AND I read in a documentary that he eats after swimming, so his body HAS to speed up the digestion (Stressful or not) in order to replenish the huge amount of lost calories. But ya, it is quite an unhealthy diet.
@deadmau5ARGURU dude. he's an olympic champion with the greatest coaching and training available. Clearly whatever he's doing is working out for him. Just cuz you read some retarded bodybuilding mag doesn't make you an excercise physiologist.
the person who is in this video is so stupid obviously Michael Phelps only eats this during training.. he admitted that once he's off training he defiantly does not eat that much
@DerrenBrown100 umm no he starts training about 2 years before the olympics he is going for.. so after the 2008 olympics he said he barely swam for months and months! your the knucklehead
@iluvvmusic101 No you idiot! No athlete stops training for months!!!!! If he did that he would lose fitness! Swimmers train everyday! !! Ww you're dumb!
@iluvvmusic101 For like a week or two! He doesnt stop training for months moron! He has competitions every year and he builds up his fitness year on year!
@DerrenBrown100 relax watch the interview and Michael Phelps says it himself... you can't get any more true than him saying it himself this conversation is over.
@iluvvmusic101 Yeh by time off for an elite athlete is not sitting on the sofa! He will always be training it would just be alot lighter after competition.
In the interview he went swimming and he said it was the first time he had been back in the pool since Beijing and it was a couple of months after beijing the video was taken.
@iluvvmusic101 He is an endurance athlete you clown! Endurance athletes train all year round! Resting for them is like a week of intense training for you! gtfo
@DerrenBrown100 he said something on like 60 minutes with anderson cooper how it was a couple months after bejing and it was only like his 3rd time since then hes been in the pool
Yeah, that diet might work for him in terms of winning..but in my opinion his body is ugly..the pretty boys like brad pitt, jude law or male models might not win athletic events but they eat less and look a lot better.
no dude.. its about getting laid. hahah maybe not for you actually myou may be the one man in the world who by the sounds of it doesnt want to get his dick wet. he just wants to look pretty
I find that not hard to believe, its basically all carbs (essential for swimmers) and at his level of workout training and swimming he would totally need that much food, and after 4-6 hours in the pool you're starving, trust me i spent 3-5 hours of practice a day and after that im starving ahah
The breakfast they listed Phelps has said he actually ate almost every day for a while. But in an interview he did say that his actual calorie count was more like 8 to 10 thousand a day, and the food they listed for lunch and dinner, he didn't know where they came up with that. But still, 8 to 10 thousand is a lot, and its really a testament to his daily work load.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That is pure bullshit, it is impossible he can eat all of that amount of calories even though he could, the food this guy described is pure fat food and there is almost non proteins in his diet is pure carbohydrates and fat, besides MP has said himself that is a lie he eats around 5 to 6 thousand calories a day.
@ agtapz: Are you retarded? Egg sandwiches, french toast, omelets. That's all protein. Also, if you knew anything about nutrition you would know that dietary fat is very important and despite what you may read in Cosmo, carbs are not the devil.
LOL Think what ever you want but you are the retarded, beside you believe everything the tv says if this guy also tells you that phelps sleeps 3 hours you would believe it. And of course I know of nutrition I my self balance my diet for muscle growth, and i have to intake around 3000-3200 calories to provide muscle growth wich is a surpluss but 1200 that is just ridiculus beside look for an interview where phelps him self admits that is a lie he takes between 5500 to 6500 so please research bfr
Agtapz..I like how Dj insults you and acts like you know nothing about nutrition and says one of the dumbest things I have ever heard about nutrition. French Toast is lard and sugar and he thinks it is all protein..that is like saying a donut is all protein.
Moron. Watch Phelps' videos of him eating. He just eats plain bread covered in egg. No added fat or sugar. French toast is convenient to eat because you get carbs from the bread and protein and fat from the eggs. He doesn't cover his French toast in butter, icing sugar and maply syrup, you retard.
@hansdebartolo3 french toast is bread soaked in egg and grilled on both sides usually with syrop and a sprinkle of icing sugar... i dunno what your talkin bout.. lard??
He said he eats between 8-10,000 calories a day on 60 minutes. You can find the video on youtube. Phelps would burn your miniscule 3,000 calories in half the time he spends in the pool. YOU need to do the research. He spends up to 8 hours a day in the pool, he NEEDS all of those calories. For people like you and me, that many calories is bad. For him, it's NECESSARY!
DJ you are so dumbing, get a life..all you do is type dumb shit and immature insults. You are ugly, stupid and no one cares what you think so kill yourself already you loser.

@iluvvmusic101 Yeh by time off for an elite athlete is not sitting on the sofa! He will always be training it would just be alot lighter after competition.

@DerrenBrown100 I never said he was sitting on the sofa?
In the interview he went swimming and he said it was the first time he had been back in the pool since Beijing and it was a couple of months after beijing the video was taken.

Yeah, that diet might work for him in terms of winning..but in my opinion his body is ugly..the pretty boys like brad pitt, jude law or male models might not win athletic events but they eat less and look a lot better.

I find that not hard to believe, its basically all carbs (essential for swimmers) and at his level of workout training and swimming he would totally need that much food, and after 4-6 hours in the pool you're starving, trust me i spent 3-5 hours of practice a day and after that im starving ahah

The breakfast they listed Phelps has said he actually ate almost every day for a while. But in an interview he did say that his actual calorie count was more like 8 to 10 thousand a day, and the food they listed for lunch and dinner, he didn't know where they came up with that. But still, 8 to 10 thousand is a lot, and its really a testament to his daily work load.

That is pure bullshit, it is impossible he can eat all of that amount of calories even though he could, the food this guy described is pure fat food and there is almost non proteins in his diet is pure carbohydrates and fat, besides MP has said himself that is a lie he eats around 5 to 6 thousand calories a day.

@ agtapz: Are you retarded? Egg sandwiches, french toast, omelets. That's all protein. Also, if you knew anything about nutrition you would know that dietary fat is very important and despite what you may read in Cosmo, carbs are not the devil.
DJJuzz 2 years ago
LOL Think what ever you want but you are the retarded, beside you believe everything the tv says if this guy also tells you that phelps sleeps 3 hours you would believe it. And of course I know of nutrition I my self balance my diet for muscle growth, and i have to intake around 3000-3200 calories to provide muscle growth wich is a surpluss but 1200 that is just ridiculus beside look for an interview where phelps him self admits that is a lie he takes between 5500 to 6500 so please research bfr
agtapz 2 years ago
Agtapz..I like how Dj insults you and acts like you know nothing about nutrition and says one of the dumbest things I have ever heard about nutrition. French Toast is lard and sugar and he thinks it is all protein..that is like saying a donut is all protein.
hansdebartolo3 1 year ago
Moron. Watch Phelps' videos of him eating. He just eats plain bread covered in egg. No added fat or sugar. French toast is convenient to eat because you get carbs from the bread and protein and fat from the eggs. He doesn't cover his French toast in butter, icing sugar and maply syrup, you retard.

knewok 1 year ago
He said he eats between 8-10,000 calories a day on 60 minutes. You can find the video on youtube. Phelps would burn your miniscule 3,000 calories in half the time he spends in the pool. YOU need to do the research. He spends up to 8 hours a day in the pool, he NEEDS all of those calories. For people like you and me, that many calories is bad. For him, it's NECESSARY!
