Re: HOLY CRAP MICHAEL PHELPS!
Yep, I saw it. I swear, Phelps is a freak of nature. Apparently, he consumes 17000 calories daily, and although he is only 6'4", he has an armspan of 6'7".
For those concerned, he eats the equivalent of about 25 Big Macs daily.

Re: HOLY CRAP MICHAEL PHELPS!
12,000 is what I heard.
It's a lot, but he basically spends most of his training day in the pool. Water drains heat from your body much more effectively then air, thus requiring eating extra calories, even before he actually starts swimming.

Re: Holy crap Michael Phelps!
Wow, that really puts into perspective. Wow. Cool water, lots of muscle, and a high metabolism all probably play a part in his calorie consumption.
Phelps got lucky with a couple of his wins, but in the end it's fun to watch. I'm sure some of the swimmers who got shortchanged are a little frustrated, but oh well.
