11 Best Breakfasts Olympic Athletes Swear By to Stay Fit

These Breakfasts Win Gold By Julien Perry  Professional athletes are known to consume thousands of calories a day in order to fuel their workouts—especially leading up to a major competition like the Olympics. While many events are endurance-based, pretty much all Olympic sports require enough fuel for intensity, even if it's only for short bouts. Like most physically active individuals, a majority of Olympians eat a pretty healthy diet, but, of course, not all of them fall under this training method. Swimmer Michael Phelps made headlines in 2008 when it was reported he relied on a 12,000 calorie diet of chocolate chip pancakes, French toast, and egg sandwiches to start his day. Nutritional density aside, most athletes have a balanced breakfast of fat, protein, and carbs to get them going in the morning and aid in their muscle recovery post-workout. Whether you're training for a sporting event, want to get into shape, or are just curious what other people eat(!), we can all learn a little something from the breakfast choices of these 11 Olympians, past and present.    READ THE FULL ARTICLE    Latest Grocery & Healthy Eating News Looking to lose weight?
