I was watching Today this morning and saw a segment featuring the Olympic Committee executive chef, Jacque Hamilton. She’s the one in charge of feeding the 600+ American athletes that are training for the Beijing Olympic Games. Judo fighter, Myles Porter revealed that he often eats 10,000 to 12,000 calories a day, which is probably a week’s worth for most of us. Of course that’s not cupcakes and ice cream–it’s a lot of protein and carbs. He can eat 3 pounds of beef in one sitting! On the day he was filmed, he burned so many calories in practice that he still lost 4 pounds!

Ok, so you probably don’t want to consume that many calories (unless you spend your entire day at the gym that is), but Hamilton’s Baja Chicken Salad (Porter’s favorite) sounds pretty good. And if you don’t pair it with a triple-pounder hamburger, you should be alright.
