Michael Phelps' Diet

As the world starts their love affair with Michael Phelps (who can blame them?) I thought it would be interesting to post what his daily diet is. When Mike first told me this weekend about what all Phelps eats, I was in shock! Have a look for yourself:

Breakfast: Three fried egg sandwiches; cheese; tomatoes; lettuce; fried onions; mayonnaise; three chocolate-chip pancakes; five-egg omelette; three sugar-coated slices of French toast; bowl of grits; two cups of coffee

Lunch: Half-kilogram (one pound) of enriched pasta; two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread; energy drinks

Dinner: Half-kilogram of pasta, with carbonara sauce; large pizza; energy drinks

HOLY COW! I would be a COW if I followed that diet!!! That's enough to feed 5 grown men (calorie wise)
