quote phelps:
"During my prime, I was probably really eating eight to ten [thousand calories per day]. But that was the most, and that was when I was in high school and still growing."
he does not swim for all 6 hours @1000 cal/hour...all olympians cross train...he does dry land workouts as well as non swimming stuff in the pool...
just to put things in perspective, phelps with his weight would burn 20 calories per minute if he sprinted or ran as fast as he possibly can...this is 1200 cal per hour...forget about the 1000 cal per hour for 6 hours...just forget about it

You legit have no clue what youre talking about. Im 5'7 185lbs and eat 4500 calories a day and I dont swim for 3-4 hours a day. You have shown time and time again that you do not know squat about nutrition.
Youre very lean and it has nothing to do with what you eat...youre absolutely right /sarcasm.

you absorb only a portion of the nutrients in your food...google it...
