The daily diet of champion Michael Phelps

With 23 gold medals and his name written in the history of Olympic swimming, Michael Phelps surpasses any other athlete who has competed in this event, at least in awards. Of course, he achieved this through effort and dedication, and a large part of his training is what he eats, as it is the fuel he needs to give 100% in every race. Today we will tell you what he eats on a normal training day, and it is probably much more than you thought a professional athlete ate. According to Phelps himself, he no longer consumes as many calories as he did in 2008, before the Beijing Olympics. Back then, the swimmer consumed an outrageous 12,000 calories a day just to recover the energy he expended training every day. At that time, a common breakfast could include an egg sandwich with onion rings, mayonnaise, and a chocolate muffin for dessert.
