  • These people are so clueless about nutrition it's not even funny!

    'Protein for a quick burst of energy', I don't think so, and as if he's not getting enough protein eating all that. He eats 5-10 eggs for breakfast!! If this is true then he's in trouble down the road.

  • its funny, i really dont believe that he eats this EVERYDAY, i mean, come on. if he were to eat this every single day, before and after workouts, im pretty sure he would throw-up. on the days he doesnt work out rigorously im sure he could do this tho.

  • @MrTinyLlama I am by no means an athlete on Phelps level but eating before exercise has never upset my stomach. I'm also sure he is not eating this 30 mins before he swims for two hours either.

    Just think of the amount of calories he burns every day just swimming 4 hours without the 3 days a week of lifting. If I can burn 1000 calories in 90 mins and I am not a good swimmer he could easily be burning 4000+ calories a practice.

  • omg they should call it the michael phelps dream diet

  • Well let's look at it this way he's probably been eating like this for a while....he's not fat so it obviously works:L and his food bill must be HUGE!:L

  • btw, it takes like an hour to burn about 100 calories by jogging, I believe, so 12000 calories-2000 burned calories is 10000 calories 10000 calories/100 calories=100 hours, there are only 24 hours in a day....whatever made my point, and he has a life, he doesn't eat all day, nobody has time to consume 12000 calories in a day

  • @msdancingqueen11 lol, Phelps burns WAY more than 100 calories an hour. You obviously dont even know what a calorie is. Its a unit of energy. Phelps is exerting an incredible amount of energy when he swims, therefore using much more calories.

  • @sneaeky I know what a calorie is, Michael Phelps swims a lot, but not for 24 hours a day, he needs to rest and sleep cuz after all he's only human, and he goes on vacation once in a while

  • @msdancingqueen11 You have too look at it this way.

    Phelps metabolic rate is off the charts (due to his lifestyle).

    So when Phelps is sleeping about 6 hrs he probably has burned at least a thousand if not more (I'm guessing 2500) calories.

    The body needs to maintain whatever muscle he has, and to do so, Phelps needs to consume a large amount of protein and carbs.

    It all has to do with his metabolic rate, and with hardcore athletes, 12k diets are possible.

    kp

  • I don't believe that, most people eat 1600 to 2000 calories everyday, he doesn't eat 7.5 times the amount of food everyone eats everyday, it takes a lot of effort, and since there are 3500 calories in a pound, he would be gaining about 2.8 pounds everyday if he burned 2000 of those 12000 calories, since he has a lot of muscle), i'm not an expert but there is no way he burns an extra 10000 calories everyday, that would including the 2000 calorie burn from his bmr and normal day to day activities,

  • Id be going super sayin with all those energy drinks... DAMN

  • Bullshit, I bet he have never eaten more than 10000 kcal in one day, and I doubt that he will be able too.

  • his poohole must be ripped (SsssssS)

  • meanwhile in africa...

  • He needs to be on epicmealtime!

  • IT'S OVER 9000!

  • Aloha... Have you checked out DietOramy food plan (can be found on Google)? I discovered a bunch of astonishing materials on it and also my brother got rid of plenty of unwanted unwanted fat using it.

  • this has to be bullshit, if he had those energy drinks every day for a month his heart would of been like "f u" long ass time ago

  • @bratanvova yeah i dont get that, they say 1 or 2 energy drinks a day is unhealthy and he drinks a shitload, how is he alive :D

  • @RedStarBelgradefan He won't be for long. I forget the name of a 1980's olympic swimmer (6 gold medals. The Michel Phelps of the 80's). He's now middle-aged w/ colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, problems w/ cholesterol, and heart problems. I think he also passed a kidney stone. Phelps' diet is worse. Doesn't matter if he burns off the fat, his body is absorbing all that junk including the energy drinks that are bad for his bones and stomach. Phelps is strong and stupid.

  • @cellardoor199991 this is false. Phelps eats around 8000 colaries a day and im pretty sure its far healthier food.

  • @RSGuides577 I know, it's 8-10 thousand calories not 12,000. No he eats this type of shit daily when he trains. There's footage of him eating on 60 minutes interview and the shit that is in his house. Yeah it's bad. Just because ppl "look" like they are in shape doesn't mean they are healthy.

  • So lucky! I eat 3082 cals a day on my routine but damn, this shit looks amazing!

  • this confirms that Phelps is really a shark reincarnated as a human.. I suspected it on his swimming ability, but his food consumption solidifies it.

  • i swim and that would feed me for a week or two....

  • Phelps smokes....it's not from the exercising it's from the insane munchies!

  • I workout for 60mins every other day and run 8km the other days, so something every day. Even then I am only allowed 3085cals a day which is quite easy to do, cant even eat lollies otherwise too much guilt.

  • @Slaterking2010 im well aware of people having a high BMR, im also aware of EPOC rate after exercise!Still this does not stack up, lets look at the science involved here.

    body can absorb/store around 1200-1500 cal in one sitting to be stored as fuel..Glycogen! So that means approx 12 sittings a day!?swimming hard uses 750-1000 cal an hour, working out in a gym even less!so a 6 hr w/o uses 6000 cal+high BMR+EPOC say total usage 9000 cal?still a 3000cal differencet! btw im a well informed athlete.

  • Most of you people are idiots who dont exercise like people like I do. When you push yourself to the MAX like that you need the fuel (food) to get the strength and energy, not some basic diet.

  • Guys who spend 6+ hrs a day in the pool kinda need their calories. Just sayin'

  • He would just burn it off with all the swimming and training he does, right? He uses all his calories up.

  • This is not Phelps' diet.

  • @Azbx23 Yeah it is. This was one day of food taking from his intense training period. It's literally what he ate.

  • And I thought I ate a lot...

  • is this the food he really eats or did they just throw some shit together that would make up 12000 kcal?

  • Idiots stacking food lol We know what we see lol

  • World record!!

  • He eats like 7-8 thousand...

  • Ahhhh yes, being rich and having the munchies after the bong...

  • he obviously doesnt really eat all this you cant believe everything you hear.

  • not sure if i've said this before but Phelps confirmed awhile back that he eats between 8,000-10,000, not 12,000 a day. It's still a whole lot though!

  • If this is true it is pretty impressive. Not because of the mass but because it's all unhealthy food.

  • REAL exercise > gay woman magazine diet

  • Even Man v Food would shit himself over this.

  • To the poeple saying Phelps doesn't eat this. I've seen with my own eyes a guy that could eat 1 lb of bacon, a whole loaf of breaf (toast), 12 eggs and several cups of coffee for breakfast ALONE. And he was a small skinny guy. This is very doable as a high level elite athlete.

  • Oh hello! Have you thought about cleverous 402 diet (search on google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy lost a ton of weight with it

  • well no wonder he smoked weed, haha, there's no way in hell i could down 12,000 fucking calories a day without having the munchies hella bad...

  • Guys, guys... you do realize of course that Phelps is taking the piss out of the reporters with this statement, right? And laughingly enough they all fell for it.

  • @robotic2000k actually I was a college swimmer in the us, we ate like this everyday as well. maybe not as much, but close to it...he was also swimming three a days when he was eating like this, while I only ever trained twice a day.

  • most fat fuck americans eat 12,000 calories a day but play on xbox live instead getting their lardy arses to the gym or pool

  • i'm next to sure he doesnt just eat 3 meals a day. athletes eat whenever constantly, whenever they are hungry

  • เข้าใจความหมายของคำว่า ยัดห่า ก็งานนี้ 555

  • I would like to see Michael Phelps at an All You Can Eat Buffet!!!

  • i like how idiots are impressed when they learn you eat a lot and yet youre not fat. where along the line did people start to think "food bad" ??

  • @h0wud0in2 around the same time as the Soy industry started paying resaerchers to demonize saturated fat and fake studies were cooked up to make you think meat causes cancer.

  • His shits are gunna smell so bad after eating all these stuff lol

  • @cripplemancrips

    You make it sound like some shits smell worse than others Lol... I GUESS that's sorta true but imo, all my poop smells pretty bad =\

  • noob

  • he dont eat that. if he did he be 3 stone over weight. 4-5hrs training b a day will burn 5000cal at most! this is so silly!

  • @mickoholland1 your right.. let's listen to the random on youtube rather than the 5 newscasts that are all showing the same meals

  • @birdman4birdlegs its called publicity........

  • @mickoholland1 Yeah, but your body also burns calories when resting. He's sheer muscle.. More muscle, quicker metabolism.

  • @mickoholland1 Heard of the after burning effect and BMR??? With more muscle you raise your BMR hence body-builders eat loads and afterburner raises your metabolism aswell.

  • He must shit bricks.

  • @mnicol12 LMFAO x1000

  • Yeah? Try eating pasta and breads like he does and do your hour a day routine at your local YMCA. Let's see how fast you burn all those carbs genious. Write in another month and 12 pounds heavier.

  • The guy is dumb. Carbohydrates release their energy quickly into the body.

  • imagine how fat Phelps would be if he didn't swim

  • What the fuck? I'm a fat boy with a big apatite but I couldn't even imagine trying to eat all of that.

  • MICHAEL DOES NOT EAT 12000 CALORIES A DAY YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

  • @sorakGrobari

    Exactly however his level of exercise probably requires him to eat about 4000-6000 calories during the season when he is training however they probably mainly come from protein complex carbs and fat not necessarily in that order.

  • You guys do realize it would be impossible to digest all of that food and swim efficiently he more than likely eats pretty clean

  • he's got two cows a chicken and a baby in here

  • Can anyone say the munchies??? After a day/night of smoking weed he can eat eat eat!

  • "Any nutritionist will tell you that quality always matters, but that's what makes him so SPECIAL. " Actually that's hat makes him so stupid. He's gonna regret all this shit in 10 yrs. He has all the $ in the world to eat healthy, but chooses not to. Sad.

  • Too bad he's gonna get diabetes and shit load of other illnesses when he older. Like what happens to other olympic athletes. He should switch to a paleo diet

  • @cellardoor199991

    naw, hes burning it off. Its those people who sit around and dont do anything that will ahve an issue

  • @1titans Too bad you believe that. Other Olympic swimmers have diabetes bcause of the same reason

  • @cellardoor199991 Michael Phelps dietitians > you. Stop acting like you have any idea what you're talking about compared to highly trained professionals at the peak of their profession.

  • @MattySoliola Michael doesn't have a dietician he has doctors and lawyers.

  • That's not what a gymnast eats!! lol i would starve if i only ate that...

  • @icecoffeeenthusiast here, here!

    Dude, I'm a sumo wrestler, and I can tell you if I only settled for 12,000 a day, I'd be totally famished, dude!

  • Read his book. He does not eat 12,000 calories per day. He eats on average, 8000 calories per day.

  • Comment removed

  • @SinZero1 Average. Key word. He can still eat 12,000 a day. just on average he eats 8,000.

  • Must lay the biggest turds. Take an hour to lay out all that cable.

  • @Ineddiblehulk LMAO

  • Phelps should be on Epicmealtime!

  • if u guys dont believe he consumes this much he does. he swims for like 10 hrs a day and swi,,ing is the most intense form of cardio there is

  • lmfao at whoever believes this

  • @fobunit99 no he eats swims bathroom sleep thats it

  • he does NOT eat 12,000 cal's a day...he would be dead

  • @mimsc00

    Umm..I don't see how he would die from that...

  • With that diet, you'll become diabetic, have high cholesterol, clogged arteries, suffer from hypertension, and most likely die... Within a week.

  • @TheTrollOfTheTube not if you burn all of it during the day lol have you seen how intense his workouts are? lol i would eat the same if i did so much training

  • @TheTrollOfTheTube umm.. he looks like he's still alive..

  • @TheTrollOfTheTube You truly are the troll of the tube. Get out of here ._.

  • Yeah,and a daily usage of doping!!!!

  • @uros2710 true, everybody knows that

  • He sounds scary when he gets the munchies...

  • i wish i could eat that much, but i cant lol, i will end up putting all my weight i lost back on

  • while he said he does eat somewhat close to this he said that an actual 12,000 calories is a total myth. I actually asked him this in person with a swim for kids fundraiser where i got to swim with him:)

  • At the end does that woman on the right really equate protein with "quick bursts" of energy... proof female news personalities aren't picked for their brains

  • have a look on my video, its about phelps, great montage

    /watch?v=pnAT9KQeOxo&feature=c­hannel_video_title

  • If you think he actually ingests energy drinks you're an idiot. They're terrible for you and he probably gets money from them.

  • Oh hey! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (just google it)? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy lost crazy amounts of weight with it.

  • Lol @ you idiots, he swims all day, that burns a shit ton of calories, he NEEDS to eat alot to keep some fat on him.

  • i don't think 12,000 calories makes him that good..

    but i think doping make much more sense

  • Alot of people don't really know why he consumes so much calories a day people asume "oh he's an olympic athlete" this is true but one of the main reasons and i've studied this is that he spends most of his time training in the water! Water is 24 times more thermally conductive than air, what this means is that the water sucks the energy the heat from his body... His body burns excess calories just to maintain his body tempurature.

  • @RJBC5199 That is a really good point. On top of that, he's in his twenties, (was only 22 when he was training for the 2008 olympics), so his metabolism must be amazing. Liek mine.

  • why would they stack it. so stupid

  • that's just bad... he needs to lower his metabolism. he has trained it into being high because he eats too much shit...

  • I remember watching something like this 3 years ago, I was like ".........I wanna do that" xD

  • 01:14 :D bitch

  • michael phelps should meet the man that eats 33,000 calories a day

  • They forgot to put some ganja on the side lol

  • he won't die of diabetes because he uses all the sugar while swimming instead of sitting on his ass

  • this is crap, bunch of junk food; he will die of diabetes

  • You know why he eats this much?! Because he has the MUNCHIES! LMFAO

  • I eat almost like this, the pasta anyway.

    Put i go running, swimming cycling and cross training.

    I do like 5 hours of intense cardio and 7 hours of light cardio (walking) and about 3.5-5 hours of weight training a week. Also i have two jobs one involves walking and the other involves a bit of work, lifting moving around on my feet ect. I must eat like 3K to 4K calories to stop myself from going underweight like a did a few months ago.

  • @Slaterking2010 i workout a lot,too. Can't eat that much though. I don't have the $ for it. You're lucky.

  • how he swims with all that food in his system is what I want to know.

  • @TheUrbanZone his body burns it all. every last calorie.

  • Adam Richman should invite Michael Phelps on Man versus food for one of those 2 person challenges!

  • More than Epic Meal Time

  • ..why were they stacking them shits

  • 1:13 fail

    

  • 1:15 fail

  • Some of the responses to this video are pretty amusing...

    Some people seem to believe he'll eat 12,000 calories per day everyday... (theres a thing called carb loading)

    And theres people comparing him to top bodybuilders...(i just wont comment on the lack of intelligence here...lmao)

  • A box of beacon sounds good for bed time snack

  • I think he released details about his diet which were exaggerated so his rivals would copy it but wouldn't be able to burn it off with the intense training he does, resulting in them getting fat and essentially ridding Phelps of any real competition. true tactician.

  • @DanReborn you are the biggest knob on this planet.

  • That's damn impressive with the physique of the man, total legend! And the foods not as healthy as I thought it might be....interesting

  • im going to the kitchen now , im hungry ....

  • cam you imagine the munchies this guy gets after hitting the bong?

  • That man must take gargantuan dumps like a Rhino.

  • holy shit, looking at that amount makes me hate food :P

  • @KanohiKaukau Yes I absolutely acknowledge

  • there is no way i could eat all that even if i was that physically active dam how can that dude do it

  • @janglots Ganja!!!!

  • i just can't get it, thats way too much, top bodybuilders like jay cutler, ronnie coleman...consume off season around 7000 calories..

  • @prakashwicked

    top bodybuilders are not olympic swimmers. swimming is an endurance sport and their bodies function much differently than a bodybuilder.

  • He might look like a fitness model but mark my words - He's gonna lose his health earlier than normal thin and fit people who eat 3,000 calories or whatever.

  • he must shit like a fucking gorilla after eating a #3 and #4 from del taco extra pico de gallo sauce

  • what. a. beast.

  • 1:13 was always gonna happen, these women ought to know better considering they live mostly in the kitchen.

  • Gee DanReborn, you should suck his dick not once but 20 times

    

  • i eat more calories...lol

  • now thats what you call munchies

  • who cares, he's a winner

  • i think phelps has been telling porkie pies. ronnie coleman doesnt even eat that much and hes mr fucking olympia

  • @DanReborn ronnie coleman doesnt do hours of intense cardio everyday.

  • @tickdog2k7 intense cardio? LOL. Thats nothing compared to pounding hundreds of kilos of iron over and over again. this guy is lying, simple as.

  • @DanReborn you know fuck all. in an hour an AVERAGE man burns around 1000calories swimming. Michael Phelps is far more than an average man and does way more than an hours worth of swimming everyday.

  • @tickdog2k7 hush now small uneducated child. he IS an average man. there is nothing super human about his body. he burns calories just like everybody else. he is a scrawny little scrote bag, there is no meat on his bones. he does not burn 12000 calories a day from swimming. thats some plain bullshit. You might burn 12000 calories a day masterbating, but he doesnt do it swimming.

  • @tickdog2k7 swimming isnt a real sport anyway. swimming is for fish

  • @DanReborn you my friend, are a douchebag, asshole, and fattass. You probably play WoW

  • @DrAGMagma LOL. typical response from a typical ignorant amerikkkan. An american calling ME a fatass?? HAHAHAH lol lol lol. We british people dont plat shitty games like world of warcraft. we arnt obsessed with war lol. Only you dumb americans get addicted to games about caves and dragons or whatever the fuck its about, Grow up you stupid cunt. haha

  • @DanReborn Im sorry about that comment, i just was in a really bad mood. You just shouldn't be hating on Michael Phelps, because you probably don't comprehend how much work and effort it takes to be a multi-gold Olympian. I am a swimmer myself, knowing how hard training for swimming is. If you just don't like Michael Phelps, then don't hate on him and don't go on his videos just to post comments like that. And by the way, sorry bout' the comment.

  • @DanReborn I think you'll find people all over the world play world of warcraft. Oh and it's spelt "American" you ignorant hyprocrital prick.

  • @lionelmtb88 i think youll find that actually its only stupid ameriKKKans that play stupid video games, and only ameriKKKans that actually RIOT outside stores when they go on sale hahaha. you fucking twat LOL

  • @DanReborn I've seen them here in the UK you cunt, come call me a twat to my face and i'll end you.

  • @lionelmtb88 ahahahah you stupid but fucking son of a bitch. ill suck the cum right out of your throbbing cock you crack smoking wet back!

  • Don't forget he's 6'4"... not only does he burn all those calories, but it takes a lot more food to fill his large frame.

  • I don't understand why he drinks all those energy drinks, what's the point?

  • trust an american to eat that much

  • @iamtrash123 He burns it all off, that's why he has to consume so much.

  • phelps=bullsh**ter

  • don't need to eat so much to gain those callories just take 3 servings of gain fast 3100 ( 3 X 150 g a day ) and with your ordinary food u reach those 12.000 calls :D

  • @suceavanet Ha! But if you eat that, you'll be just like America...

  • Imagine what he shits...

  • i dont understand y these idiots began to stack the plates in the first place

  • is that girl dumb... protein is for long term energy, carbs are for quick energy... its common science

  • epicmealtime vs michael phelps what u kno about that son

  • @jaxblade07 bacon betccchh

  • Mega fail: "Gymnasts need lots of protein for quick energy". Derp

  • what i want to know is how much he shits!
