Michael Phelps won his 8th gold medal of the 2008 Beijing Olympics this morning. Absolutely incredible!
What I found more amazing was his diet - According to the BBC, this is what fuels the most succesful Olympian of all time:
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
This is the reason why I'm not an olympic swimmer - I just don't eat enough junkfood!
