YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT?
Carbohydrates Main source of energy A lack of carbs leads to fatigue and loss
of Na, K, and H20 (electrolyte depletion) 4 Calories per gram
WHICH CARBS SHOULD YOU LIMIT?
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES
SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES
Whole grain products Pasta Rice Some vegetables Good source of
vitamins, minerals and fiber
Sugary foods Few vitamins and
minerals High calories Excess carbs turn into
Fat
LIPIDS (FATS) Fat is required for absorption of fat-
soluble vitamins, like A, D, E, and K. It helps us feel full when we eat, Protects our organs, Helps in development of cell
membranes, and insulates our bodies. 9 calories per gram
WHICH FATS SHOULD YOU LIMIT?
SATURATED FATS UNSATURATED FATS
Fatty meats Butter Vegetable oil Hydrogenated foods
(processed) Dairy Excess leads to high
cholesterol and heart disease
Lean meats Polyunsaturated (soy) Monounsaturated (olive
oil) Low fat dairy
PROTEINS Crucial to building, maintaining and
repairing body tissue aid in digestion and encourage a
healthy immune system. Too little can cause lethargy, unhealthy
hair and nails, and insufficient nutrient transport.
Too much protein is stressful for the kidneys and can result in a loss of calcium.
PROTEINS Meats Beans Nuts Dairy Products 4 calories per gram
CALCULATING CALORIES
HOW TO DETERMINE CALORIES
1. Multiply total Carbs and Proteins by 4
2. Multiple Total Fats by 9 3. Add the results EX. Milk: 2% fat
Serving size 8 fl. Oz. XXXXXXXXXX
Total Fat 5g X 9 = 45Total Carbs 12g X 4 = 48Total Protein 8g X 4 = 32Total Calories XXXXXXXXXX 125

Your Caloric Intake
HOW TO CALCULATE % OF CARBS, FATS, AND PROTEINS TO MAKE A PIE CHART
1. Add up all the grams of Carbs, Fats, and Proteins
2. Divide that total by the total Carb intake
3. Repeat process for Fats and Proteins

THE MICHAEL PHELPS’ 12,000 CALORIE “DIET”
For Breakfast, three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, and mayo, one five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast with powdered sugar, three chocolate chip pancakes & two cups of coffee.
For lunch, Phelps drinks 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks, one pound of pasta with tomato sauce and two large ham and cheese sandwiches (with mayo) on white bread.
For dinner, Phelps’ meal consists of six to eight slices of pizza, another pound of pasta with tomato sauce, and 1,000 calories of energy drinks.
Phelps trains for six hours a day, six days a week swimming approximately 50 miles each week, which is over 8 miles per training day. He also weight trains for strength, endurance and flexibility.
These are the foods that actually take more energy to consume/breakdown than the calories they contain.
