Question

What is the diet of an Olympic swimmer?

Answer 1

One recent example is Michael Phelps he's on a 12,000 calories a day diet.  He eats plenty of healthy food and incorporates a lot of carbohydrates. He trains for 9 hours a day and burns off calories easily. Michael mentioned his diet in a recent interview, he stated that no matter how hard he tries he can't get over 200lbs.  Michael was awarded 8 gold medals at this year Olympics breaking 7 out of the 8 world records. Simply amazing.  Hope you watched.  You could probably catch his races and any further diet information the Internet.

He enjoys junk food after competition is over!

Hope this helped.

Answer 4

i think it is pasta and stuff, like a high protein diet.

Answer 5

"Pasta and Stuff" are not High protein diet.  Yes they do eat a lot of Carbs because that's ow they fuel their body.  Bicyclists and Marathon runners usually stay away from carbs on regular basis but the day before the race they would go into Carb-athon, so their body would have enough fuel for race-day
