What I Eat in a Week | D1 Student Athlete | UC Berkeley Swimmer

This is what I eat in a week as a D1 Student-Athlete at UC Berkeley (Cal) on the Men’s Swim Team. This week, my diet didn’t differ much from what I normally eat and that is what I wanted to show you all, a real diet of a D1 Athlete. As an NCAA Student-Athlete, we are constantly burning calories as I practice up to 20 hours a week in between weights practices and the pool, thus we need lots and lots of food. At Cal, there are lots of options for us such as Grab n Go, and lots of amazing local food places around campus such as Ikes, Cheese n Stuff, Mezzo, and Chipotle. Many people will say that swimmers eat a lot due to the legendary Michael Phelps diet and I hope that this video can attest to that. I’m eating between 3-5 meals a day and still having to find little ways in between to fuel my body.

Yes! The freezer trick with oatmeal is key, also thickens it up a bit more. Another trick for getting oatmeal to cool down faster is to microwave it in a wider bowl (I just use one of those larger rectangle Tupperware containers) to give it more surface area to cool off.

[@KyleMillis]

Totally, right!!! Glad someone else agrees with me here, got a bit of hate haha

[@francishood9680]

i just discovered this video like so random and this is a bomb! 🔥 hoping for more vlogs! more power for u and your channel ✊🏻

[@KyleMillis]

Thanks so much for the support Francis! Lots more coming soon!

[@ulugyeniley1172]

wtf how u are still not discovered and still low subs u are just so natural speaker and fluent i never comment on vids but pls keep it up you are so close to your big step

[@KyleMillis]

Appreciate the support! With more people like you, maybe I will be soon! Thanks for the support!

[@laurenrosen5681]

Hey Kyle! Great video :) Even though my father isn’t a student athlete at the #1 public university in the country, he still knows how to make some microwave oatmeal. Here’s a tip: if you microwave it for less time, you won’t have to put it in the freezer for 5 minutes!

[@KyleMillis]

Obviously your dad doesn’t have to be a student athlete to know that if you hear it for a shorter amount of time, then you get soggy uncooked oats!! Gotta use the freezer method Lauren!

[@anvithkakkera7196]

6:50, lolll me too! I also put my oatmeal in the freezer too becuz it’s too hot, sometimes i forget abt it completely and the oatmeal I made gets completely frozen

[@KyleMillis]

Hahaha I’ve never completely forgotten about it haha Glad I’m not too crazy

[@youtubeaccount211]

love ur channel man ur gonna be great 1 day

[@KyleMillis]

Really appreciate it!! Working hard to improve videos and more so I can keep getting better for the viewers

[@marlenbo1333]

I am from India (Assam) Love this channel Bro please do upload full gym training for swimmer.

[@KyleMillis]

I will be doing a day of training in the weight room, dryland (core training), and swim workout video soon! Follow along!

[@nashe1462]

a) Buy reg oatmeal (cheaper) b) boil with water and milk once a week c) put in freg. d) take out half portion and heat in microwave e) other half cold = cheap and right temp. Your Welcome ! Go Bears!

[@KyleMillis]

Interesting tips, all about being frugal but I do love the cinnamon apple taste haha

[@nashe1462]

@@KyleMillis cut up an apple and add it to your oatmeal when cooking and sprinkle some cinnamon (Dollar Store). The reason I said anything, you are the only person (your age and "jock") I see doing any cooking

[@jennykirby9911]

I love your videos, Kyle!! Thank you for them. You might want to check out the documentary "Game Changers" on Netflix for info on elite athletes and diet. Thank you again for the great videos. Always entertaining!

[@KyleMillis]

I've had many teammates watch that documentary and give very many mixed reviews on it. I will have to watch it sometime for myself. Thanks for the support!

[@kayla-zm2mz]

frozen fruit in hot oatmeal 🤌🤌 with some fresh fruit and or nuts too for some crunch 😌

[@KyleMillis]

Woah this is a great new idea! They both cool each other off

[@skatingcanuck9837]

If my oatmeal is too hot sometimes I'll pour cold oat milk on top - it brings it to the right temperature.

[@KyleMillis]

Ohh good call, I’ll keep that in mind

[@skatingcanuck9837]

@@KyleMillis I like steel cut oats which take a while to make. Sometimes I'll make a batch, then pour oat/almond milk on top. I'll keep a batch of hard boiled eggs in my fridge. Then all I have to do is scoop some oatmeal out and throw it in the microwave. I have tried throwing the hard boiled egg in the oatmeal, but it often explodes in the microwave :(, so you might want to keep it cold.

[@estebargus83]

Sir, did you come in to UC Berkeley with a lot of AP/IB credits or Honors classes from High school?

[@KyleMillis]

Not as many as you would think. I only took 4 AP classes which put me ahead a whole semester upon getting to Berkeley. However, since I was an athlete, I wasn’t taking as many as my peers in high school. I know of students that take well over 10 AP classes!

[@charliearnold7795]

I do that with my oatmeal too

[@KyleMillis]

Love to hear it! Glad I'm not the only one haha

[@andrewfretzin857]

When I saw you stick it in the freezer I had to show it to my mom I do that with eggs in the fridge and with taqito

[@KyleMillis]

Haha that’s too funny!!! Still do it! It’s a must

[@VoltHaul]

How does this work, do you basically eat, what you think is right or do you have like a diet plan?

[@KyleMillis]

It's all about fueling yourself appropriately when you need it. Some days I will need to fuel myself less given that I have less volume in the pool or weight room. We don't have a diet plan but are all rather mindful of our goals and how we fuel ourselves.

[@lillianzhang_]

air fryer chicken nuggets are the BEST

[@KyleMillis]

oh you know it!!

[@gvangseng]

Do athletes at Cal have a free food allowance?

[@anvithkakkera7196]

Do u watch graham stephans KZbin channel? U could try his 15 cent iced coffee or whatever he calls it

[@KyleMillis]

I love his channel! He’s one of the reasons I wanted to get into KZbin and sharing financial education! I might have to do a video on taste testing Graham Stephans coffee haha

[@KyleMillis]

Oatmeal hot or cold?

[@matthewjensen9043]

Gotta be hot

[@KyleMillis]

@@matthewjensen9043 not a big overnight oats guy I guess

[@laurenrosen5681]

Also - that girl in your video looked super cool. Is she dating anyone? The fans want to know!

[@KyleMillis]

She’s a fan favorite!! Who knows… maybe I am??

[@JosiahWard-oe9xi]

Any advice for get into a d1 college for swim?

Ya! Check out my college recruiting videos. Subscribe too, I got more on the way.

[@einsteinisbae27]

UCLA jersey! What's up with that :D

[@KyleMillis]

My favorite college team!! Go Bruins!

[@marcosricopeng]

Naah you weird bro for putting that oatmeal in the freeezer

[@KyleMillis]

Hahah! I like it medium temp… Idk what to say

[@prestonniayesh8355]

might be a cheat code tbh

[@swicheroo1]

I expected you to eat a lot more in a day...mainly because I once heard Michael Phelps eats like a million calories...

[@KyleMillis]

He does eat a lot!! It depends on the time of the season, honestly this was a pretty realistic week for me, some weeks I eat much less. Rarely will I eat more than this. I didn’t show it but I tend to consume a lot of smoothies as well in a week (missed the grocery store run this week)

[@manifestwithlydia]

I will lose weight to 85 pounds after one month 😳😳😳 Spicy is my soul

[@KyleMillis]

Woah don’t do that! Gotta be healthy

[@prestonniayesh8355]
