Food for fuel: Olympian Phelps' unusual diet
BBC 15 August 2008
As US swimming sensation Michael Phelps sets his sights on more gold medal wins at the Beijing Olympics this weekend, the BBC's Michael Hirst examines the part an extraordinary diet has played in the sportsman's remarkable success.
If it is true that you are what you eat, then here is the suggested intake if you want to become history's most successful Olympian:
For breakfast: three fried egg sandwiches, with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, fried onions and mayonnaise, followed by three chocolate-chip pancakes; a five-egg omelette; three sugar-coated slices of French toast and a bowl of grits (a maize-based porridge), washed down with two cups of coffee.
For lunch: half a kilogramme (one pound) of enriched pasta; two large ham and cheese sandwiches on white bread smothered with mayonnaise, washed down by energy drinks.
Conversion process: A huge calorie intake provides Phelps with crucial energy
For dinner: Another half-kilogramme of pasta, perhaps with a carbonara sauce, followed by a large pizza and more energy drinks.
That combination may not sound very healthy, and at a staggering 10,000 calories, would feed five average men for a day.
But the menu is reportedly all in a training day's eating for champion swimmer Michael Phelps, who won six gold medals in the 2004 Athens Olympics and is aiming for eight this time round.
"Eat, sleep and swim, that's all I can do," said the US swimmer, after winning his 11th Olympic gold.
Judging by the amount he eats and swims, that is not altogether surprising.
Fat pile-on
The Phelps diet is not recommended for everyone. Due to his muscle-intensive physique, the swimmer's metabolism - the process of converting food into energy - far exceeds that of a more average man, said Jeff Kotterman, director of the US National Association of Sports Nutrition.
"It's a combination of peak performance coupled with the fact that he has an enormous metabolism - he burns more calories sitting at a desk than a lot of people burn walking," Mr Kotterman told the BBC.
He suggested Phelps, with an estimated 8% body fat, probably burns 1,000 calories per hour during his swimming training, compared to the equivalent exercise for an average person - vigorous walking - that would burn between 170 and 240 calories.
Consequently, trying to emulate the Phelps diet by consuming up to 12,000 calories a day in order to attain his physique would more than likely come to a wobbly end.
One pound of fat has roughly 3,500 calories, so an ordinary man could put on almost three pounds of fat a day.
But then again, Michael Phelps - who has now won the 400m medley, 200m freestyle, 200m butterfly, 4x100m free relay, 4x200m free relay and the 200m medley in world record times - is clearly no ordinary man.

i remember when i first came
you were the one who talked to me
you stuck a piece of tape onto my sweather
and walked away and smiled
it meant alot
we talked and became instant friends
sure there were rumours but thank goodness we made it through those
everytime i needed to talk to anyone,
it would be you
it would be you.
but now you barely look at me
you barely talk to me
you merely say hello and walk away
you're breaking my heart
i thought we were supposed to be friends.
she told me that i changed her life
she said i made it better
she said that everyone didnt talk to her
andi believed that we were actually friends
i thought you were true
i thought you meant what you said, what you wrote
you made me happy
and even though you dont wanna talk anymore
i still do cause
the friendship we had was so great for me
it made everything seem alright
you brought me fun
and you brought me laughter
you knew me, dont deny
and you laughed at me
but i loved it
i loved all of it
if i could,
i'd take it all back now.
why cant we be friends,
why cant we be friends?
