You are not only never likely to swim like Gold Medal Olympian Michael Phelps, but you probably will never have a diet such as his

While Phelps is trim for his size, he ingests 8,000 calories a day, according to reports

His average breakfast is two eggand cheese sandwiches, a bowl of grits, a western omelet, French toast, and a stack of chocolate-chip pancakes - that's for dessert, he says.

Of course being 23 doesn't hurt, but just think, if Phelps can keep his abs well groomed despite eating enough for four, most of us should be able to make sizable strides in keeping trim with just a little will power when it comes to pushing ourselves from the table.
