He wakes up at 5:20 in the morning
Also,
He's not a morning person

This is basically what all athletes eat. Basic stuff, few processed foods...if everyone ate like this we would see less weight-related diseases in the western world

Been wanting to know this. Lucky this channel was added to my subscriptions a long time ago

Whenever I want to eat healthy with a lot of veggies that also tastes great, often I eat Asian food. It’s usually Indian, Korean, Japanese, Thai. The seasoning is delicious and I don’t feel like eating vegetables is a chore. I lost a lot of weight eating that way. Avoiding dairy is also good for you. My skin got much clearer cutting dairy out.

Definitely he needs a nutritionist. Carbs at night doesn’t make you fat. It’s all about feeding your body accordingly to your needs.

me watchin this while having mcdonalds: interesting

[honestnerd]

It's all fun and games until you see the price of his grocery shopping list.

Where did you hide the m&m's?

[christianlarsen]

wtf, im a D2 swimmer and we have 12 practices a week, 6 weight room sessions a week...

Say what you want but I’m fully convinced that professional swimmers have among the toughest training-schedules compared to any other sports

[emmawang]

So he eats pretty much the same thing for lunch and dinner, just the portion is different, lunch is smaller. Basically just a well-balanced meal choosing quality carbs and lean white protein with solid greens.

[georgeleggott]

I don’t eat carbs late at night but I have berries yoghurt and granola late at night

[DaveRichardsonFitness]

Going to bed with carbs in your stomach doesn't make you gain weight

[BattleOfSchruteFarms]

A tad different than Michael Phelps' diet...

[Ravrjei]

he swims for 1 hour 50 in the morning with low carbs at night and only a banana? damn, impressive

[lucimihai]

Full day of eating Caelab Dressel . Please!!

[SzandraMayer]

Would have loved to see some numbers, calories. His diet seems to be way less than the infamous Micheal Phelps 12K daily diet, which I believe was not accurate, anyways. Based on what He showed, I would assume he does not even eat more than 4000 calories per day and considering his training sessions that is less than what I expected.

The inaccuracy of many of these statements is really surprising given how generally healthy his diet is. An example within the first minute: aerobic exercise utilizes primarily fat for energy—not carbohydrates. Also the idea that bananas are high in potassium and “prevent cramping” is absurd. Firstly, they really don’t have that much potassium, and second. Muscle cramps are most often a result of dehydration or lack of sodium. Potassium plays a role, but you’re much better off focusing on getting salt before/during a workout than a f-ing banana.
