with all the calories they’re burning they can afford it anyway. i vaguely remember phelps talking about his usual daily meals being like stacks of chocolate chip waffles, and not chicken breast with salad as you might expect.
it’s important that people understand you can’t mainline one type of intake when trying to both sustain the workouts/competition going on and preparing for a big meet. Not only does it get monotonous your body needs fats to refresh the digestive track and propel all that protein and carbs through the intestines. Trying that on a homogenous diet would be miserable.
