Whenever I want to eat healthy with a lot of veggies that also tastes great, often I eat Asian food. It’s usually Indian, Korean, Japanese, Thai. The seasoning is delicious and I don’t feel like eating vegetables is a chore. I lost a lot of weight eating that way. Avoiding dairy is also good for you. My skin got much clearer cutting dairy out.

[@michaelw7327]

but im growing and am still a teen, wouljd dairy be good for me? (Cows milk, natural yoghurt for the gut, etc.)

[@Stefan-o6d]

Michael Wang you don’t need dairy. there are much better sources of calcium/protein if those are your concerns. however, they aren’t inherently bad for you. i personally avoid milk and stick to mostly greek yogurt and occasionally aged cheese

[@akshaygolchha]

@@michaelw7327 dairy is not bad at all! Just avoid Type A dairy 👍

[@santhosh_prem]

Michael Wang have dairy, it has its own benefits and negatives, you don’t have to cut out anything except junk food. Have a balanced eating habit. Don’t go vegan! Balance is key.

[@hindsightpov4218]

Michael Wang Humans don’t need dairy past infancy. Dairy from polluted factory farms also carry puss, antibiotics and other nasty stuff that humans don’t need. The milk that seems the best replacement for dairy milk from what I understand is soy milk. It also depends on what you’re looking for so check the nutrition labels. Calcium is found in a lot of fruits, nuts and vegetables so you shouldn’t be lacking calcium if you eat healthy. For your gut, foods with probiotics are kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles and other fermented foods.

[@juananjuanan7089]

Definitely he needs a nutritionist. Carbs at night doesn’t make you fat. It’s all about feeding your body accordingly to your needs.

[@emmettenriques5646]

Exactly, and more protein helps you loose weight too not carbs

[@stephenfitness2393]

not sure why he said that because he said he eats brown rice or quinoa at night and its his biggest meal haha

[@lucimihai4167]

True!!

[@SzandraMayer]

Would have loved to see some numbers, calories. His diet seems to be way less than the infamous Micheal Phelps 12K daily diet, which I believe was not accurate, anyways. Based on what He showed, I would assume he does not even eat more than 4000 calories per day and considering his training sessions that is less than what I expected.

[@pac0re]

Phelps had more enduring events so calories would have probably been higher.

[@erickp.c4665]

Actually Phelps said himself it was not 12,000 but around 8,000. Also you can’t compare Michaels training with Murphy’s, not disrespecting Ryan but Michael was just in another level

[@yesyes89]

@@erickp.c4665 phelps swam mainly endurance events like 200 fly or 400 im so he probably had more water volume wich burns more calories so he needs more food

Going to bed with carbs in your stomach doesn't make you gain weight

[@comment6323]

Say what you want but I’m fully convinced that professional swimmers have among the toughest training-schedules compared to any other sports

[@phillipsmom6252]

Agree 👍

[@JittyJittyBangBang]

I’d say second to boxing but yes definitely up there

[@patrickthompson6885]

I'd guess because low impact of swimming means you can go longer/harder with lower risk of injury and with less recovery.

[@reint88]

This is what most people say about the sport they like. It is not really comparable because different sports have different needs and therefore different training schedules.

[@qwertusuz4715]

Wrestling i would say is way harder

[@emmawang6601]

So he eats pretty much the same thing for lunch and dinner, just the portion is different, lunch is smaller. Basically just a well-balanced meal choosing quality carbs and lean white protein with solid greens.

[@Ravrjei]

he swims for 1 hour 50 in the morning with low carbs at night and only a banana? damn, impressive

[@apoorv5upadhyay]

He still holds the world record for 100m backstroke so I thinks it's fine

[@Fullbloodamerican]

I was going to say the same thing😂 dude eats healthy but he has no clue about macronutrients and sports nutrition as a whole. He probably has a nutritionist who tells him what to eat but he doesn’t know why he’s eating it.

[@samjohnson5288]

I’m sure he was referencing the granola and fruit that he puts in the yogurt when he was said “carbs.” I couldn’t agree more though. I laughed when he said eating carbs later in the day is a “good way to gain weight.” Also a banana to prevent cramping... really? He’d be better off having some peanut butter toast or anything high in sodium and drinking plenty of water if he’s worried about cramps. Then he says he needs carbs to fuel his AEROBIC workout lol. Buddy, aerobic training primarily utilizes fat for energy, not carbs (although if he’s near his aerobic threshold for >1hr then a small amount of carbs is necessary). It always baffles me how little some world class athletes know about nutrition.

[@جواهرالبحر-د5ص]

He's talking about the granola

[@samjohnson5288]

The inaccuracy of many of these statements is really surprising given how generally healthy his diet is. An example within the first minute: aerobic exercise utilizes primarily fat for energy-not carbohydrates. Also the idea that bananas are high in potassium and “prevent cramping” is absurd. Firstly, they really don’t have that much potassium, and second. Muscle cramps are most often a result of dehydration or lack of sodium. Potassium plays a role, but you’re much better off focusing on getting salt before/during a workout than a f-ing banana.

[@ldi1451]

Potatoes and Nori

[@eddykapasibu7899]

Thats why you won a gold medal in an Olympic.

[@MasterApprentist]

Lack of magnesium for cramping, you will access carbs unless your in a ketosis.

Yes, it does. Carbs are stored in glycogen which the body uses as fuel to create ATP (energy source). Of course, it's not carbs only. It depends on what kind of workout he performs.

@@swimrr3709 Your body uses so much energy to digest food and you don't receive energy from it for hours later. So unless you eat 2 hours before exercising, there really isn't any point.

[@DrunkenSailors1]

Not entirely true.You can see athletes who digest food in minutes absorbing the energy real quick.There are even athletes who eat in the middle of a workout.

[@DBASSDAN]

@@DrunkenSailors1 Your body simply can't digest food that quick, fact. People don't even realise the two things that use up so much energy in their lives. Eating and sleeping. Why do you think you feel like a nap after eating? Because your body is using it so much energy to digest what you just ate. Same with sleeping, you wake up tired and foggy, because your body has been using up so much energy to regenerate cells etc...there are thousands of professional athletes who only eat once a day!! OMAD! They do that so their bodies aren't using up so much energy all the time.
