Phelps-mania

Looks like Phelps wasn't done at after swimming:


On a more serious note of just how insane Michael Phelps is, if you haven't read it somewhere else, this the diet of the beast himself:

Breakfast: Three fried egg sandwiches; cheese; tomatoes; lettuce; fried onions; mayonnaise; three chocolate-chip pancakes; five-egg omelette; three sugar-coated slices of French toast; bowl of grits; two cups of coffee

Lunch: Half-kilogram (one pound) of enriched pasta; two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread; energy drinks

Dinner: Half-kilogram of pasta, with carbonara sauce; large pizza; energy drinks

A normal person consumes 2000-4000 calories a day. Phelps consumes 12,000 calories a day including around 2000 alone from energy drinks.

Here's some more Phelps footage from the 100m Butterfly:
