A typical Michael Phelps breakfast
An increasingly pregnant Amy and I were strolling along Venice Beach this morning, marveling at the complete lack of a storm – Fay fizzled – and Amy said she was hungry for bacon and eggs and French toast. She had eaten an hour earlier.
This is normal in pregnancy.
uber-Olympian Michael Phelps isn’t pregnant, but consumes 8,000 to 10,000 calories a day.
Serious Eats reports that Phelps' typical breakfast order from Pete's Grille in Baltimore, Maryland, as is recounted in autobiography Beneath the Surface, is:
“Start with three sandwiches of fried eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onions, and mayonnaise; add one omelet, a bowl of grits, and three slices of French toast with powdered sugar; then wash down with three chocolate chip pancakes.”
Maybe the U.S. track team should have been hanging out with Phelps. The N.Y. Times reported Saturday that several members of the United States track team became ill at the team’s pre-Olympic training center in Dalian, about 300 miles east of Beijing, and food poisoning was the likely cause.
Better breakfasts fight teen anxiety: study
A study of more than 800 students has found that a complex breakfast is directly linked to better mental health irrespective of family income, the student's weight or exercise routine.
Students who ate from more food groups for their morning meal scored higher on a child behaviour checklist, with an improvement in mood seen for every extra food type added.Lead researcher Therese O'Sullivan, from the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth, said,
"It didn't matter what they added, just that they added something different like a banana to their cereal to make that meal more complete with vitamins and minerals. From what we found, that makes a huge difference."Don't cry
