The Michael Phelps Diet!?!

*UPDATE* I did a makeshift little drawing last night for my "Pay It Forward" blog yesterday. The winners are:

Please email me your addresses and I will get your treat in the mail. Not sure what it's going to be--but I'll be out shopping today!

Now the regularly scheduled blog:

OMG! Have you heard about the amount of food Michael Phelps consumes in one day!? I read about it in the New York Times and I'm shocked!

First of all, the calorie count alone is staggering--12,000 calories a day! That's TWELVE THOUSAND! In one day! I don't eat that much (at least I hope) in a week.

Here's a sample Phelps menu:

Breakfast:
-- Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
--Two cups of coffee.
--One five-egg omelet.
--One bowl of grits.
--Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar.
--Three chocolate-chip pancakes.

Lunch:
--One pound of enriched pasta.
--Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread.
--Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories.

Dinner:
--One pound of pasta.
--An entire pizza.
--More energy drinks

Can you imagine?? I guess when you swim like that you can eat whatever you want--and then some! I hope he's eating some fruits and vegetables in there somewhere. Maybe on his "entire" pizza?

Speaking of Phelps, I just read a Dooce post saying that he's taken over the fourth and fifth positions on her "boyfriend" list. Here's my "boyfriend" list:

1. Gerard Way
2. Gerard Way
3. Hugh Jackman (the London production of Oklahoma! Jackman)
4. Anderson Cooper (I'm really digging him these days--what do you think--gay or not?)
5. TIE: Joaquin Phoenix and Patrick Wilson (he's in a good movie called Little Children--I recommend it--if anything, just to look at PW!!)

But, really, it's only just Gerard--I put the other ones in to make the list more interesting! They mean nothing to me, Gerard!!

I'm totally stealing this from Dooce, but--let's hear your list!
