可怕的菲尔普斯食谱:
据报道,
23岁的菲尔普斯每周训练30个小时,每天要消耗12000卡路里。为了补充在训练中损失的卡路里,他必须要在每日的饮食中摄取足够的热量。菲尔普斯也曾表示,他在饮食上并没有太多的限制,喜欢吃的东西,总是吃很多。他必须要尽可能地多补充他要消耗的卡路里。
食谱以鸡蛋、蛋黄酱和脂肪为主。贾尼西·汤姆森教授是布里斯托大学的营养健康学教授,他说:“你不应该尝试像菲尔普斯那样进食,他是一个杰出的运动员,运动量非常大。”菲尔普斯每天几乎要在泳池中游上12公里,他还要进行大量的陆地训练。根据年龄、身高和体重的不同,正常成年男性每天的热量摄取约为2200至2800卡路里。而专家推测,菲尔普斯每天摄入了高达12000卡路里的热量。汤姆森认为菲尔普斯的食谱中蔬菜和水果的比重太少,而且摄入的食盐和脂肪太多。不过,由于游泳运动员长时间处在泳池这个低温环境中,身体需要一定的脂肪抵御寒冷。
菲尔普斯每天的食谱如下:
早餐:3个煎蛋三明治,2杯咖啡,5个鸡蛋饼,1碗玉米粥,3片法式吐司,3块巧克力煎饼
午餐:1磅意大利通心粉,2个火腿芝士三明治,能量饮料(1000卡路里)
晚餐:1磅意大利通心粉,1大块比萨,能量饮料(1000卡路里)
早 餐
午 餐
晚 餐
一天食物的总和
即便是这么一架狂烧卡路里的游泳机器,这么大吃大喝能行吗?我们向马克·克里恩(Mark Klion)求证这个问题,他是纽约西奈山医学中心(Mount Sinai Medical Center)的运动医学专家及整形外科专家。他提醒我们,在饮食上玩的任何花样其实都可以归结为最基本的算术问题。
如果你吃下的卡路里数少于运动时消耗的卡路里数,你的体重就会减轻。不过像菲尔普斯这样超大强度运动量的运动员,要担心的事情则是如何补充燃烧掉的大量卡路里。克里恩解释说,如果菲尔普斯不尽快补充卡路里,那么他的“体能无法恢复,肌肉也无法恢复,他就无法为下一次的比赛储存足够的能量。”
在食物的选择上又有什么讲究呢?那一大堆的鸡蛋、火腿、奶酪不一定会对他有什么好处,不是吗?克里恩对此的解释是:“我考虑过这个问题,因为他对卡路里的需求极大,所以他几乎可以随心所欲地吃任何东西。” 另外,克里恩说,要吃下那么多的东西,最好是选择自己爱吃的,否则很难坚持得下来。克里恩指出,要让菲尔普斯一口气吞下一磅豆腐显然就有些强人所难了。
不过,克里恩也提出了警告,他知道有很多马拉松运动员,因为觉得自己可以无所顾忌放开来吃,导致体重上升。所以的确需要好好地计划一下。网上有些资源也许能帮上忙,比如美国心脏协会的卡路里消耗表以及《跑步者世界》杂志刊登的卡路里计算器。由卡路里控制协会设计的这个计算器包括很多的活动,从除尘到冰球运动,不一而足。
不过这类计算器对菲尔普斯这样的人并不适用,他的运动量要远远高于普通人,凯思琳·拉夸勒(Kathleen Laquale)如是说道,她是一位体育教练及营养学家,任教于马萨诸塞州桥水大学。即便从运动员的标准来看,菲尔普斯也是鲜有人及。据拉夸勒说,环法自行车赛的选手通常一天仅需消耗8,000至10,000卡路里的热量。

PHELPS' PIG SECRET: HE'S BOY GORGE

Swimming sensation
Michael Phelps has an Olympic recipe for success - and it involves eating a staggering 12,000 calories a day.
"Eat, sleep and swim. That's all I can do," Phelps, who won two more gold medals today, told NBC when asked what he needs to win medals. "Get some calories into my system and try to recover the best I can."
By comparison, the average man of the same age needs to ingest about 2,000 calories a day.
Phelps, 23, will swim 17 times over nine days of competition at the Beijing Games - meaning that he will need all the calories he can shovel in his mouth in order to keep his energy levels high.
Phelps' diet - which involves ingesting 4,000 calories every time he sits down for a meal - resembles that of a reckless overeater rather than an Olympian.
Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.
At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.
He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
Phelps remains on course to at least equal Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals won at the 1972 Munich Games.
At these Summer Games, a typical day for Phelps starts with a 5 a.m. wake-up call. Most of his races have taken place between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET when in China - 12 hours ahead of East Coast time.
