Phelps Good at Swimming, Great at Eating

↵↵So, you secretly wish you had a body like Michael Phelps, do you? It’s okay to admit it. I mean, I don’t have anything to be jealous of, what with my eight pack and all, but you, well, you probably do. So, what’s the key to his chiseledness? Diet. He consumes 10,000 calories a day. ↵

↵↵For just a sample of how absurd this is, let’s take a look at his typical breakfast, according to Little Bobby Costas: ↵

  • ↵↵⇥Three sandwiches of fried eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onions and mayonnaise
  • ↵⇥One omelet
  • ↵⇥A bowl of grits
  • ↵⇥Three slices of French toast with powdered sugar
  • ↵⇥Three chocolate chip pancakes

↵↵↵There you have it, folks, proof that Phelps eats the French for breakfast both in and out of the pool! Huh, am I right, people?! ↵
