    Hey,

    According to SI, his "pre-training breakfast" at the local greasy spoon (Pete's grill in Baltimore) comprises:

    - 3 egg omelet
    - A bowl of grits
    - 3 slices of French toast with powdered sugar
    - 3 chocolate chip pancakes
    - 3 fried egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onions and mayo

    This "dish" was apparently offered to allcomers (at $19.95) during the olympics - Usually ordered by a group of people but the one guy who tried it alone complained of "pretty severe" stomach pains. [No ****!]

    Had to share,
    Cheers,
    Ian

    That guys metabolism is incredibly high. He's probably reducing his life span by raising it that much...

    He uses most of all of his caloric intake. He's in the pool for hours everyday.

    I believe he said he consumes upwards of 8,000 calories a day when he's training. I wish I could afford to eat that much (cleanly at least).

    Damn, that sounds so good right now...I'm so hungry. Add a bacon weave and everyone would be down to eat it. That's cheap too. $20.00 for all that food. I think I'm going to go eat. :D

    That's a pretty normal breakfast for someone who is in training. He's going to burn alot more cal. then he's taking in right there.

    Well, I'll grant you it's low carb :)

    Guess you'll lose weight on that diet, up until you croak, that is...
