Re: Michael Phelps consumes 12000 calories everyday eek
Metabolism plays a huge part here too. Those who exercise regularly burn fat more easily and therefore need more calories to maintain their muscles. This applies tenfold to super-athletes.
wow, 12k calories man-o-MAN how I would LOVE to consume that many lol!! Bring on the STEAK man!
Re: Michael Phelps consumes 12000 calories everyday eek
He obviously burns the 12000 calories off otherwise he would be fat. Secondly as Mamaof3 says he probably has a faster metabolism rate and he probably has a lot of small meals in the day instead of 2 huge meals.
Re: Michael Phelps consumes 12000 calories everyday eek
3000 - 3200 per day.
