What do you have to do to look like this?
For starters you have to eat right. According to the New York Post, here is a typical day’s chow for Michael Phelps.
Breakfast
three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise
two cups of coffee
five-egg omelet
a bowl of grits
three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar
three chocolate-chip pancakes
Lunch
a pound of enriched pasta
two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread
1,000 calories worth of energy drinks
Dinner
another pound of pasta
an entire pizza
another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks
All told, about 12,000 calories a day.

The only thing that you miss here is probably his swimming habits that probably burn all those calories on spot!
I see you changed the look of your site, Jack! Nice looking theme!

Thanks Ovidiu.
Yeah, I suppose it doesn’t work without the swimming part.

Actually Mike Phelps picks cotton in southern Mississippi, this time of year and burns about 12,000 calories a day. He took two weeks off for the Olympics, and was docked two weeks pay.
He usually supplements his diet with squirrel or gator meat that he and the fellers shoot at night around their immigrant farm workers shanty towns.
“I love the life in the bogs,” says the hero swimmer and bog trotter, “Eat, swim, hunt gator, sleep, pick cotton, that’s the life… my life.”
Today Mike Phelps is up to about 10 or 11 Gold medals, and is thinking of staying in China, because there is plenty of cotton to pick there after the Olympics, “…and plenty of bogs,” said the swimming fish boy world records holder.
“He is the fastest picker on a row, and I’ll be sad to lose him,” reports toothless Harold cotton boss at the farm in Hattiesburg. “He has the fastest time of about 53.048.056 seconds, yep faster than a comet. The closest time to his is 53.048.333 seconds.”

Nah, but you can shoot ‘em in the nests if you have a good spotlight…
