<p>Michael Phelp's Diet
Breakfast: 3 fried egg sandwiches, 2 cups coffee, 5-egg omlette, bowl of grits, 3 pieces of french toast, 3 chocolate chip pancakes</p>

<p>Lunch: 1 pound pasta, 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, energy drink (1,000 calorie)</p>

<p>Dinner: 1 pound pasta, 1 large pizza, energy drink (1,000 calorie)</p>

<p>Weightlifter's Diet
Immediately upon waking up
2 glasses of water with 5 to 10 grams glutamine</p>

<p>Breakfast
1 cup of oatmeal (cooked) with 1 tbsp of raisins. Ham and cheese 4 egg white omelet. 1 cup of water. Immediately afterwards, have one vitamin/mineral tablet.</p>

<p>Snack
Protein drink.</p>

<p>Lunch
Grilled chicken breast with one baked potato. 1 cup of steamed veggies. 1 tbsp of low fat sour cream for potato. </p>

<p>Mid Afternoon Snack</p>

<p>1 protein bar. Recommend MuscleTech Meso Tech or EAS Myoplex Deluxe. </p>

<p>Pre Workout Nutrition
1 Endothil CR tab and creatine drink.</p>

<p>Workout</p>

<p>Post Workout Nutrition
1 serving Cyto Sport Cytogainer</p>

<p>Dinner

<p>Considering the fact that 3500 calories = 1 pound of fat, weightlifters under Phelp's 12,000 calorie diet would gain roughly 3 pounds of fat per day. Phelps can handle such a diet because he is swimming an excess of 30 hours per week.</p>

102

<p>An olympic lifter isn't burning calories? Interesting.</p>

103

<p>Basic physics I suppose. Lots of newtons but little distance.</p>

104

<p>LOL cav. Think about why what you said is wrong.</p>

105

<p>I think you've been reading the nonsense on bodybuilding.com a bit too much...</p>

106

<p>Actually, I do research on weightlifting/bodybuilding. I look on the Internet, read books, and ask people about their routines. I don't say things like "olympic weightlifters eat pizza all the time". That's nonsense.</p>

107

<p>I didn't say that elite athletes eat junkfood all the time. I just said that they eat a more normal diet than you'd think. There's nothing really wrong with pizza anyway, depending on its role in your diet. At worst, its a good source of calories and an OK source of protein.</p>

108

<p>


</p>

<p>I think that pizza in moderation isn't harmful but Phelp's is eating a freaking whole pizza daily. Now that's gotta be unhealthy.</p>

<p>Anyways, to get off this argument, what time does Track & Field start tomorrow?</p>

109

<p>Women's volleyball on: Kerri and Misty are playing, but it's tied right now. Uh-oh. Sudden death rounds now, too.</p>

110

<p>I can't believe how they are with the Belgians! Those women look like they eat way too many Belgian waffles with lots of whipped cream ;)</p>

111

<p>Now they're destroying. I like.</p>

112

<p>Hey they're about to set an "all-time intergalactic record"! yay!</p>

113

<p>Quite the victory for volleyball, hopefully that runner's injury doesn't have any negative effects. </p>

<p>And Cav, I was just kidding, I know the Olympic lifters are just as much amazing athletes as the swimmers or runners or whoever else...but those guys as Gold's Gym give everyone else who does it a bad name.</p>

114

<p>America knows how to swim!</p>

115

<p>Too bad Kenya knows how to run :(
Haha the crazy old guy is on again :D</p>

<p>Edit: Yay! 6 Gold and a new WR!!!</p>

<p>sorry i'm late guys. i made a CHOCOLATE extravangza just now. german chocolate cake, brownies, marble cupcakes (!) but i don't think these olympic athletes eat that.</p>

<p>so back on topic. katie hoff has been a complete disappointment this olympics.</p>

<p>uhhh and p.s. about phelps diet. do you KNOW what he eats? he would eat a full freaking pizza because he needs like 8,000+ calories per day. They did this thing on what he eats and he eats more for breakfast than I eat in 2 days (including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.)</p>

117

<p>^sweet jesus</p>

<p>reminds me of that MTV show "Scarred"</p>

118

<p>Ouch, that can't be good for you if your elbows start to pop out!</p>

<p>But Coughlin is up, hopefully she preforms. </p>

<p>db, care to share :) ?</p>

119

<p>Ewww, that must hurt terribly. Although, youtube gymnastic accidents. They're u-g-l-y.</p>

<p>Katie Hoff has been disappointing. She's gotten so many 4th-6th places. Coughlin is still my favorite. They just said she has 9 medals though? I thought Phelps has the most now?</p>

<p>db: I made peach cobbler today. I'm terribly allergic to peaches though, so it was interesting when I started swelling up today. I'm okay when I eat them cooked though, along with a ton of other fruits. Turned out amazing though! So yummy! I'm in like, baking frenzy now. Next is blueberry cobbler, then fudge and chocolate chip cookies to take back. If you're big into cooking, look into getting "The New Best Recipe Cookbook". They also have a baking cookbook with a similar name. They're written by Cook's Illustrated and have details about how they came up with the recipes so you can see why they chose certain ingredients (like vodka in pie crust!) or did certain things. Great, great book.</p>

<p>Aww yay Coughlin! That was a really tough race.</p>

120

<p>She has nine...make that ten!!! Bronze...</p>

<p>Phelps has something like 13 medals and 11 or so Gold.</p>
