There was a lot of attention brought to Michael Phelps’ diet during his glory days. Whether due to genetics or perseverance in his training, Phelps supposedly enjoyed a diet in which he ate up to 10,000 calories. Reports suggest a typical Michael Phelps breakfast would contain three fried egg sandwiches, a chocolate pastry, a five-egg omelette, two cups of coffee, and a bowl of oatmeal. Later at lunch, he might typically eat a half-kilo of pasta and two jam sandwiches, with some energy drinks to hydrate and improve his workout performances. At dinner, he’d consume more pasta, pizzas, and energy drinks. This is certainly the typical Olympian diet and that’s why there was so much fascination surrounding what Phelps would eat.  His sponsorship with Mcdonald's surely raised a few eyebrows. He has been captured celebrating various victories with the traditional hamburgers of this world-famous brand in the past; a peculiar sight to behold for one of the world’s most celebrated athletes.
