I'm sure many of you are already aware of this article on about.com It reviews a couple of studies that try to explain why swimmers tend to have more body fat than other athletes.
Thought if you weren't aware of the article you might find it interesting.

So, is it possible that the runner is not eating ice cream, beer, etc. because it's part of the whole pain and suffering mentality and the swimmer does eat those things because we are not into the pain and suffering thing?
Don't know nuthin' about pain and suffering, but I do know that I don't know a single runner who likes a big bowl of Breyers Vanilla (With Real Specks of Vanilla Beans) drowning in Hershey's syrup backed with an ice cold Pilsner Urquell or Moretti or 6 as much as I do:D
Damn, you have good taste!
Around here, we have a place called Bruster's. They make their ice cream on site as well as their waffle cones. They have a flavor called Fudgie Cheesecake:D They also have one called Birthday Cake - it actually has cake icing in the ice cream (because ice cream isn't sweet enough afterall!)
