Phelps Eats Ann Arbor
Find out how this local Olympic champion keeps his figure!
He is the most decorated Olympian of all time. He goes to school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. His name is Michael Phelps. Boy can eat.
Exceprt from Wall Street Journal, August 13, by Sarah Rubenstein:
A New York Post account of Phelps’s… wait for it… 12,000-calorie-a-day diet, gave us a stomachache. Could one human being really consume that much and still be in Phelps’s shape? And could this possibly be healthy for Phelps, even considering his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week exercise regimen?
Here’s Phelps’s typical menu. (No, he doesn’t choose among these options. He eats them all, according to the Post.)
Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.
Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories.
Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.
Where does he eat? The below videos give us an idea of his favorite Ann Arbor eateries:
1. Amer's Deli
2. Benny's Family Dining
3. Prickly Pear Southwest Cafe
4. Maize n' Blue Deli
