Athlete's diet: Eating like an Olympian

CNN's Phil Han takes a look at what some athletes have to eat in order to stay ahead of the game.

[@samroberts3641]

I wasn't even looking at the food most of the time

[@jmc129]

Carbs only digest fast if they are simple carbs, complex carbs aren't a fast energy source

[@Alexander-xl3zj]

some just dont know how tiring swimmer is 😨 look.. go 5 x 400 at 5 10 and im just 13 yrs old. its hard. youll cry 😂

[@Swimmer375]

Agree

[@guttom]

i didnt get anything they said.... im distracted

[@nikolayskvotsov3868]

They didnt say any essential.

[@PungiFungi]

Too bad that far many people eat like Olympians but do not exercise or train the way they do.

[@TheAbStand]

Amazing to see how much food he consumed. Swimming obviously burns a very large amount of calories. The AbStand has been helpful for many people to achieve abs without having to get on the ground. This is very helpful to anyone with back or neck pain. Hope you'll check us out!

[@careyhummer57]

[@ticotorres140]

[@Yourlastwordofficial]

Moi not comprendre the numbre of vidéo KZbin

[@QueenbB8]

I understand him eat all of that. But does he burn up to 10,000 calories a day? Its like gain the calories you burn back.

[@andyhwang9806]

Yes. That's the point though. He isn't trying to lose calories as an athlete. He needs those calories for performance in the pool.

[@christopherrecinos2988]

+QueenbB8 If he works out 6-7 hours a day and burns the 1500 calories per hour like they said, he'd be at around 10000 calories burned

[@py528]

Just watched this vid and I feel stuffed.

[@hippityhopp4227]

I can eat that in 6 hours

[@y0manda]

Where are the potassium enriched foods? Don't be blindsided by carbs, calories, and protein.

[@potatolord3202]

A lot of athletes eat carbs before competing because the energy from carbs come out about a day later, so it is stored in their body until they compete.

[@AngelLightization]

I was told to eat high protein, fat, veggies and small portions of fruit... go figure.

[@madhavnambiar1563]

He swims four hour s a day. Thats intense training in the water. So training hard in water drops his body temperature hence he can consume such a collosal amount of calories without getting fat or loosing shape. The difference loes in training in the water and the drop of thermal temperature.

[@chammysean]

pasta and pizzas mainly comprises of carbs. Just keep out the mayo, cream cheese and butter and you virtually have no fat in the dish.

[@southport97]

I would be fat as fuck if I ate all that. Richard Simmons would have to come to my house and cut me out of me room with a chainsaw.

[@nassrawi9779]

[@variousiroiro]

Eh..sucks for poor countries who don't have luxuries to eat and train well.

[@mevil1717]

It's fastfood u fool

[@goalposthead79]

carbs really? michael phelps, most succesful olympian of all time! pay attention keto muppets.

[@seaney007]

goalposthead79 Exactly, he’s an Olympic champion. So why would his diet apply to your average person who doesn’t swim for 6 hours a day burning that much calories?

[@sheelahbelgiankenyangal8447]

bullshit!!! kenyan athletes dont need all this and they are among the best athletes!

[@dubidooba7930]

I think these are more for swimmers and I don't think there's any Kenyan swimmers in the olympic

[@sheelahbelgiankenyangal8447]

the title did not specify that it was a swimmers diet! sorry

[@sandman3546]

Sheelah Belgian/Kenyan Gal they said Michael Phelps idiot this is what HE EATS
