You can rack up alot of calories fast eating clean with nuts, seeds, flax seed, coconut & olive oil.
Does "clean" mean no meat or just organics?
Because then you can add steak, beef, pork, chicken and even fish.
I'm not sure exactly how to get to 10,000 but I can easily get to 2,500 and still have room for lots more.
Don't you think that an Olympic athlete who needs that much would rather get it from clean foods if they actually could without it interrupting their training?

I'm not sure what we're debating here. I agree 100%.
Btw, I don't eat 2500 calls. I'm small. But I DO understand his need for that.
... and a female. So no I can't comprehend what is appetite is like. I'm not as active as he is either. So he eats junk, he looks great. I'm talking about HEALTH. (Brain food, good eyes, a digestive system that doesn't want to shut down on you, cholesterol, ...etc.) I'm sure his numbers are in check exercising the way he does. Mine are OUTSTANDING doing 1/8 of what he does, but I eat right.0 -
the second this argument became about michael phelps is the moment it stopped being relevant to anything we were talking about before.0

That's kind of the point, isn't it? What you eat doesn't matter all that much. What matters is your lifestyle and calorie balance. When you get the correct number of calories to be a healthy weight and get plenty of exercise, that's 90% of the battle. Most of the last 10% is macronutrient intake. A tiny tiny portion may be micronutrient intake, with most of even that small amount being taken care of by a normal diet with a multivitamin and maybe 1 or 2 other things like fish oil. The tiny tiny tiny leftover part is basically "who knows?"0 -
Good point!
and I don't see it as an argument. Just opinions. And I always welcome opinions.0 -

I think it's still relevant. The man eats mountains of junk while training and his health is probably phenomenally good. Sugar, grease, refined and processed foods out the wazoo. And yet he's still the best the world has ever seen at what he does, and his health is probably excellent.0 -

lol because he trains all friggin day and BURNS that many calories! the moment he stops training that hard is the moment he has to start eating healthier foods. has literally nothing to do with ANYONE who uses MFP0 -

"he... BURNS that many calories!"
Well... yeah. That's what I'm saying. His caloric intake is appropriate and he gets plenty of exercise. That's the "secret" to being healthy.0 -

That's nonsense and borders on a personal attack. I never said I feel "old and tired."0 -

Sugar and fiber are both macronutrients. Minerals are micros. Any kind of mineral deficiency is rather rare in western diets.. and minerals are typically something you really don't want to get too much of. There's a reason men's multivitamins don't have iron while women's do, for instance.0
