    The Phelps Diet

    Not exactly Atkins

    BBC NEWS | World | Asia-Pacific | Food for fuel: Olympian Phelps' unusual diet
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

          I also read that he only eats like that when he's competing. Regularly he consumes about 4000 - 6000 calories, but burns a good 2/3 of that off doing training in the pool when he's not competing. He swims about 8000 meters a week (near 50 miles) when training so he definitely can afford to eat that way as he burns it off. No flab on that body!
