It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?

Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on “Good Morning America” today to give you a glimpse into the diets of some top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.

Glassman said Olympians eat a lot of food－ quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out.One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12,000 calories in one day.

Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4,000 to 6,000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.

Snacking Secrets

Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day,Glassman said.

Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Classman said.

Foods for Recovery
