I had to post this clip about the Michael Phelps 12,000 cal diet. The experiment was done on a national level and a little laughter is good for recovery after a hard swim workout.

If I remember he said 12,000 in an interview and the writer said it was probably more like 6,000, which certainly seems more reasonable. I think he might have a tendency to exaggerate, he is probably not even counting. Anyway, he better keep swimming, lol.
This sounds more accurate. I think sumo wrestlers eat near 12,000 cal/day. It's amazing that he can eat that much and burn that much to remain thin.
