Phelps Is Lovin’ It

It seems as if McDonald’s is a favorite among Olympic-winning swimmers. That includes even the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time, Michael Phelps. Even when he’s training for a competition, Phelps has claimed to “eat McDonald’s all the time.” Makes sense when his daily calorie intake is around 12,000. According to Phelps, he also eats a breakfast of mammoth proportions: three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, fried onions and mayonnaise; a five-egg omelet; three sugar-coated slices of French toast, a bowl of grits, two cups of coffee and three chocolate-chip pancakes.
