Michael Phelps' food for a day

[KostaKaramanidis]

That's why swimming is just the greatest sport in the world!!! You can just eat whatever and how much you want!! And unlike in basketball you won't be a cripple at 35 but can go on swimming till you die. (by drowning)

[Baguinho21]

It's not true!

[CDeeez94]

And that's just the munchies.

[itsgood93]

BUT, will it blend? Thats the question!

[FootbalFutbolS0ccer]

@itsgood93 there is an app for that

[dabombinator]

this is bs.. we all know michael phelps starts everyday with a big bowl of the finest buds money can buy :)

[Unknow139]

EPIC MEAL TIME? :)

[MrJambwoy]

Phelps is eating fuc'ing pizza?!

[TastyCake001]

is it just me or DAE think that all looks nasty?

[cheddafresh954]

yup,he got used to the cramps

[alesalinas90]

fml..i think i gain 10 pounds just watching this

[gogogino]

where do he put all that?

[SimlishSammy]

I'm hungry

[d00bied00]

yeah i bet he shits giant logs that stop up the toilet often. actually he probably flushes in middle of the log coming out to be proactive.

[vince0123]

that is not a lot... i can manage that

[ArizonaTea221]

and i though i ate a lot

[xCauTi0N]

he eats a shit load of pasta 30mins befor his next time to compete pasta gives alot of energy befor you start to swim

[7Trisanaty7]

yeah he eats 2 lbs a day lol

[ckeffel1]

@7Trisanaty7 try about 10. 2 pounds is pussy shit.

[kaykentucky]

if he eats that much, that means he needs to poo/pee a lot too. wont that interfere with trainings?

[Hamstringmaster]

bahahah good point.

[lk90jn65]

DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD!

In excersise an average sedentary person begins to burn Fatty-acids after a 2 hour mild walk ( 1st burning off the protiens within the first 10 minutes then carbs up until the two hours). An athletes body like phelps has a physiological advantage where there body is able to store those carbs and begin to burn the lipids sooner.

[lionelmtb88]

@818562 You DO NOT start off burning protein you start off burning ATP followed by Carbohydrates then Fat, Finally when that is depleted you start burning Protein for energy.

[lionelmtb88]

@818562 The body does NOT burn PROTEIN first, it is the VERY LAST thing the body will use as fuel, this process is called Catabolism and produces toxins that can lead to blood poisoning in extreme cases.

[Antikaku99]

oh my goodness cholesterol might kill him!

[concombresalade]

the objective of this video isn to promoting this typ of food but to show what michae phelps, who is a great swinger, have to eat. maybe childrens who look this vid will want to be like phelps and do sport so why do u speak about promoting or about bad food. U are stu-pid. i wouldn't be ur child

[malasud]

ur talking crap.. maybe ur fat?? but phepls swims like a fish..

[guitarPlayer445]

dude, all of this stuff is really high protein. he needs this energy to be able to swim as much as he does.

[fresh81steez]

than assist on educating the children you use in your argument that the only reason he eats that way is because of his ridiculous energy output

[alien1123]

note to self:do not watch videos about michael's diet when you've only had a salad and some fruit for the day.excuse me now,have to get some protein in my body.

[MacTownSwimmer0728]

i mean thats some of the stuff he eats in one day but not all of it

[Rawk4Life]

Actually it is because Phelps eats 12,000 calories of food a day when training for Olympic competition. It make time him only 30 minutes to power down 4,000 calories in one setting, but he'll burn it all off in 2 hours or less swimming laps in the pool.

[MacTownSwimmer0728]

hey napischu he practices for 8 hours a day and eats 12,000 calories a day. plus thats not even the stuff he eats. there wa no grits or pasta on that table. he has 1 pound of protein enriched pasta for lunch and more at dinner. he also has like three or four energy drinks for carbs and calorie. i didnt believe the energy drink thing at first but he ralyy does

[Oneiroi729]

man... I'm hungry

[napischu]

Well, Pumpkin Icecream.

If he eats 10.000 and burns 5.000 he'd end up fat really fast.

And the other 5.000 calories are most likely not covered by his basal metabolic rate (The amount of calories you need to maintain your vital organs etc).

He eats often which increases his metabolism, he practices alot, Swims for 2-3 hours without rest at a very high intensity level (Over 10 on a metabolic equivalent scale)

He's most likely burning more than 5.000 a day.

[ghostmanon3]

or u just dont know what ur talking about u bastard.

[iMitotropin]

all that high fructose corn syrup, MSG, aspartame etc etc etc chemical additives is gonna kill him real soon

[anopmen]

he eats it cuz carbs r good for u b4 u swim

no he'z not gonna die like that

[iMitotropin]

okz processed foodz b gudz 4 u'z

[goguda1]

Phelps is the best athlete of all time!!!!!!

[napischu]

Micheal phelps burns off 10.000 kcal in one day. You wouldn't.

His metabolism is probably really high to start with + his physical condition + the amount of training.

If an ordinary man ate that much and swam 5 hours a day he'd still end up fat. Fit, but still fat xD

[PumpkinIceCream]

he eats 10,000 cals a day, he burns 5,000

[Rawk4Life]

I retract my statement. On the 60 Minutes special of Phelps in 2008, he said he eats 10,000 calories a day while training.

[PumpkinIceCream]

ok..

[mpowellmpowellmpowel]

Wow, I think that tells me that 5 hours of swimming burns off 10,000 calories?

That's a lot of food in 1 day..

[rockandrhythm]

gee...I wonder why the name of the place was shown so many times.

[DonnieGoombani]

phelps must pass stool the sixe of smallchildren

[kevinkk26]

gosh i wish i can afford food like that..but these stupid doo doo headed employers just wont hire me..even that fast food chain..anyone has any suggestions, comments or thoughts..??? i would work for 50$ a week..help mee

[benjaminbakeher]

this isnt even related to phelps. pizza and tomato sauce werent on his food list xD. and all the proportions were totally wrong. i'm pretty sure this is just to advertise the stupid resteraunt.

[TheBraziliantV]

it actually says he eats a whole large pizza for dinner and a pound of pasta(that includes tomatoe sauce)

[flameout12345]

Is Michael gonna live through to his 30s?

[luigiguillen]

este cabron se come lo ke uno de los atletas nuestros mexicanos tragan en un año

[AlexthePanda]

yeah, he eats like 8-12k calories while training. But this video is still lame.

[diegocallofduty3]

I bet you this video has nothing to do with michael phels he just named it this

[pattielovesgeorge]

yeah, that's how people get views to their vids. put celeb names in front.

[megaguitar01]

@diegocallofduty3 actually it dosent matter really im a swimmer and so is my brother u eat everything in sight

[1JesusRocks1]
