I'm not a swimmer but I can relate to that. I used to do cardio by swimming after weight training but then I start to realize I was losing muscle mass no matter how much I ate so I actually had to just stop and switch to running or incline walk. The amount of calories you burn while swimming ain't no joke, let alone being on an Olympic level.

[@egorbor5713]

you werent losin muscle mass from swimming, you were burning fat and losing weight. you cant lose muscle mass from doing a workout while also doing weight training

Stating that sportsmen carreer is (most of the time) more or less short, all hard work combined with such lifestyle worth every single penny earned. As Usain Bolt once said: "I trained all my life to be the best. Now that my career has ended, I can live a normal life and eat junk food". With just a "little bit" more money 😉

[@estelleschneider9033]

Oh..that is terrible..why mess with what God has gifted you with Food and right eating will gift you with healthy..not junk food..man makes junk food..all that is bad man has harmed in our food causing early death and sickness. All the chemical God never did All natural..is health Bit now that he has ceased athletics as a daily..he can have more to choose from May he choose wisely.

seems crazy right

[@RigoOXx]

He didn't said he was eating that much on clean food. He said at the beggining he was only trying to achieve the daily amount of calories, obviously not clean. Then preparing for 2016 olympics he took it "easier" because he realized his body was no longer what it was, and started eating less calories but with high quality food. At least that's what I understood

Its obvious you dont train. When i was in high school i was also eating that much during training because your body needs it for energy and recovery.

swimmers train like hell and swim like fishes everyday, just to cut milliseconds off their own records. Especially Olympians, they train for 4 years to either make histories or become one, there’s no in-between. Yes they have coaches and professional nutritionist to help designing their routine and meals. But can you imagine eating those stuffs everyday? The stresses they are bearing are just too much to imagine for recreational swimmers like us.

[@erichansen3641]

Per my research on Olympian Johnny Weissmuller, I recommend 1 pound of bacon and 1 dozen eggs daily (or per meal) for Olympic Gold Medal Swimmers. Weissmuller also ate a loaf of bread. I recommend whole grain millet and buckwheat groats boiled and served with real dairy butter and sweetened with raisins and/or honey and sprinkled with nuts/seeds. For potassium and magnesium drink coconut water and orange juice, and/or eat a fresh avocado. Drink a smoothie with kale and/or spinach powder and tart cherry concentrate and honey and frozen bananas with dry whole milk powder or a vegetable protein powder. Swiss cheese and Walnuts/Pecans/Pumpkin Seeds are also excellent. What you don't want to eat is a low fat and low protein diet with large amounts of complex carbs ( Been there, done that. My swimming performance crashed on that kind of diet). I don't swim anymore but I can still chow down like I used to when training. My current daily diet is 1.5 pounds of pork sausage and or 80/20 turkey or beef burger, 1 pound of swiss cheese, 1 pound of shelled nuts, plus fruits and veges and grains and extra virgin olive oil.
