The Jordan Burroughs Diet

So who says Michael Phelps is the only Olympian who's pigging out all the time?  Watch this video to see what Jordan Burroughs eats at the Olympic Training Center:

No one can top Phelps's 12,000 calories a day while staying as lean as he does, but many wrestlers at the Olympic Trainer Center consume upwards of 7000-8000 calories each day during their grueling regimens.

Notice what he says when he goes for pizza: "If I can't eat, he can't eat.  If I can't eat, no one eats!"  It reminds me of an article from Runner's World magazine that I read several years ago which said: "If a physically fit long distance runner can't have dessert once in a while, who can?"  Good question.  The same applies to a physically fit wrestler.  Sounds kinda similar to something from my September 28th post, 'eh?  "Coach Tommy Evans counseled Dan [Gable], 'A man in condition can eat anything.'  Dan did - whatever was served; his fill, desserts included."

In no way am I telling you to go out and eat pizza and milkshakes on a regular basis, unless of course you're working out three or four times a day at the same level as Burroughs.  If that's the case, then you can and should have very high levels of carbs and sodium.

If I can't eat, no one eats!,
