probably sleeps at like 7-8am or something

@@hetzapark you mea pm right?

@@sexybastard5824 yea, forgot to spell check my comment.

He *has to* wake up at 5:20

I mean he doesn’t really have any other choice

but im growing and am still a teen, wouljd dairy be good for me? (Cows milk, natural yoghurt for the gut, etc.)

Michael Wang you don’t need dairy. there are much better sources of calcium/protein if those are your concerns. however, they aren’t inherently bad for you. i personally avoid milk and stick to mostly greek yogurt and occasionally aged cheese

@@michaelw7327 dairy is not bad at all! Just avoid Type A dairy 👍

Michael Wang have dairy, it has its own benefits and negatives, you don’t have to cut out anything except junk food. Have a balanced eating habit. Don’t go vegan! Balance is key.

Michael Wang Humans don’t need dairy past infancy. Dairy from polluted factory farms also carry puss, antibiotics and other nasty stuff that humans don’t need. The milk that seems the best replacement for dairy milk from what I understand is soy milk. It also depends on what you’re looking for so check the nutrition labels. Calcium is found in a lot of fruits, nuts and vegetables so you shouldn’t be lacking calcium if you eat healthy. For your gut, foods with probiotics are kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles and other fermented foods.

Exactly, and more protein helps you loose weight too not carbs

biggest myth

not sure why he said that because he said he eats brown rice or quinoa at night and its his biggest meal haha

Emmett Enriques being in a caloric deficit helps you lose weight, protein satiates you

he is a US olympic swimmer, I think he has access to more than one nutritionist....

True!!

He’s rich asf bro

His meal plan is pretty attainable. Vegetables in season and buying a lean protein (whatever is cheapest) won’t put you in a hole. I’ve never seen this kind of comment backed up with facts. It’s just a nasty comment adding to a toxic echo chamber.

@@rabbitxonxtoast right, salmon is really cheap lol

@@rabbitxonxtoast right, salmon is really cheap lol

Jan Mal O salmon isn’t necessary to lose weight. There are plenty of replacements. If that’s all you got lol

Agree 👍

I’d say second to boxing but yes definitely up there

You’re training waaay too much

quantity doesn't imply quality. and also means you are not as talented as he is

Yea ur over training most Olympic swimmers Swim 9 sessions a week ur coach isnt the best if after all that training ur a d2 athlete

Phelps had more enduring events so calories would have probably been higher.

Actually Phelps said himself it was not 12,000 but around 8,000. Also you can’t compare Michaels training with Murphy’s, not disrespecting Ryan but Michael was just in another level

@@erickp.c4665 phelps swam mainly endurance events like 200 fly or 400 im so he probably had more water volume wich burns more calories so he needs more food

Potatoes and Nori

I agree but carbs are pretty important for swimmers and they do give obviously energy, swimmers tend to attempt to maintain their fat percentage in their body and have a slightly higher fat percentage than normal athletes as it helps with buoyancy therefore we don’t really want to be gaining weight or losing it, therefore we like to use carbohydrates as a source of energy and use that for energy instead of fat.

Thats why you won a gold medal in an Olympic.

Lack of magnesium for cramping, you will access carbs unless your in a ketosis.

@@eddykapasibu7899 being a good swimmer doesn’t make you a nutritionist

He still holds the world record for 100m backstroke so I thinks it's fine

I was going to say the same thing😂 dude eats healthy but he has no clue about macronutrients and sports nutrition as a whole. He probably has a nutritionist who tells him what to eat but he doesn’t know why he’s eating it.

I’m sure he was referencing the granola and fruit that he puts in the yogurt when he was said “carbs.” I couldn’t agree more though. I laughed when he said eating carbs later in the day is a “good way to gain weight.” Also a banana to prevent cramping... really? He’d be better off having some peanut butter toast or anything high in sodium and drinking plenty of water if he’s worried about cramps. Then he says he needs carbs to fuel his AEROBIC workout lol. Buddy, aerobic training primarily utilizes fat for energy, not carbs (although if he’s near his aerobic threshold for >1hr then a small amount of carbs is necessary). It always baffles me how little some world class athletes know about nutrition.

He's talking about the granola

agreed

He’s low key sneakin in some chips here and there. JK, 😂

I feel like these are never accurate... like these are normal people too and eat normal things too

The highest level. He holds the world record in the 100m back. Olympic champion

dayum, thats sick man. what was your main event?

What are you talking about? He's not doing anything wrong.

@@rikzz0r his diet is healthy. His statements are absurd

Whats wrong with it?

his motivations and reasoning's for eating each food group is wrong

Emmett Enriques a banana before swimming for a quick potassium boost so I don’t cramp up😂

@@ldi1451 whats wrong with that?

He does the right thing for the wrong reasons (sometimes)

What??? His diet is basically perfect. They didn't specify the snacks in between which I presume there will be lots of fruits nuts and shakes. But eyy you are the expert Enlighten us body!!

Yes, it does. Carbs are stored in glycogen which the body uses as fuel to create ATP (energy source). Of course, it's not carbs only. It depends on what kind of workout he performs.

Banana Man not really when your and athlete there more to it then: maintaining muscle, fuelling correctly, having enough energy...

@@swimrr3709 Your body uses so much energy to digest food and you don't receive energy from it for hours later. So unless you eat 2 hours before exercising, there really isn't any point.

Not entirely true.You can see athletes who digest food in minutes absorbing the energy real quick.There are even athletes who eat in the middle of a workout.

@@DrunkenSailors1 Your body simply can't digest food that quick, fact. People don't even realise the two things that use up so much energy in their lives. Eating and sleeping. Why do you think you feel like a nap after eating? Because your body is using it so much energy to digest what you just ate. Same with sleeping, you wake up tired and foggy, because your body has been using up so much energy to regenerate cells etc...there are thousands of professional athletes who only eat once a day!! OMAD! They do that so their bodies aren't using up so much energy all the time.

Amrit Minhas he will get banned then

Who says he isn't?😂

Debunked

he said that was never true to begin with and said it was more like 8,000 or on certain days, 10,000 at the max....

viiarush er yh what did you think it was

well he is drained because of the intensity of the practice

@@hithere4289 i guess i never looked at it from that perspective. thx :)
