Exciting New Diet

Best story from the Olympics--Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day.

Breakfast: "three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise." plus "two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet [the guy's into eggs],
a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes."

Lunch: "a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread [he's a white bread guy]" plus "about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks."

Dinner: "a pound of pasta and an entire pizza" plus "another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks."

For some reason the energy drinks are the part that sound like he's overdoing it.

Anyway, this is a guy who in training exercises strenuously five hours a day. (Does he go in the pool an hour after he eats?) There'll come a time when he drops this regimen. When he does, I hope he cuts down to, say, no more than 6000 calories a day.
