Karta, möt terräng

Michael Phelps planerar att ta åtta guld i OS och har hittills formligen demolerat allt motstånd och tagit fem av fem möjliga guld via lika många världsrekord. Han har dessutom redan tagit flest OS-guld genom tiderna trots att han bara är 23 år fyllda.

Följaktligen skapas intresse gällande vad världens kanske just nu främste idrottare inmundigar för att kunna hålla en sådan sanslös nivå.

Svaret:
Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.

He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.

He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

Folkhälsoanalysen av detta blir naturligtvis "tänk hur bra han varit om han skött kosten".
