Micheal Phelps Has A 12,000 Calorie A Day Diet?

I read that he has a 12,000 calorie diet and i saw his “menu” that he eats everyday. OMG! he eats alot
This is his “menu”:
Breakfast: 3 fried egg sandwiches, 2 cups coffee, 5-egg omlette, bowl of grits, 3 pieces of french toast, 3 chocolate chip pancakes
Lunch: 1 pound pasta, 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, energy drink (1,000 calorie)
Dinner: 1 pound pasta, 1 large pizza, energy drink (1,000 calorie)
He says that he burns so many calories a day that he can eat what ever he wants to.
What do you think?

    I know! Michael phelps is AMAZING!
    i mean, i know he’s a guy (and they can eat a lot) but that…
    whoa!
    but it’s like, have you ever been swimming for a long time and then when you get out of the pool you start to think “hey, i’m REALLY hungry”.
    it’s kinda like that.
    he swims for like 8 hours a day, so yeah.
    and i am really skinny and eat A TON and not gain a pound. he is that way too.
    he is awesome!
    GO MICHAEL PHELPS!
    USA!
    :)

    I read and saw the thing on TV about it I think it is amazing. and with all the training he goes through his body demands that is incredible considering the average human consumes 2,000-2,500 (somewhere around that not an actual stat.) each day

    Yep when you swim 5 hours you can do it and a growing man needs lots of food anyway and believe when you swim really hard you need a LOT more calories then normal.

    Micheal Phelps eats a lot of food because he can’t get to 200 pounds & he burns a lot of calories from swimming
    Plus calories give you energy and you have energy to swim really fast.

    Well clearly he’s not overweight; if he can eat that much and not BE overweight, then he must indeed be using up all those calories.

    He’s the freakin’ man so he can do whatever he wants to.
