Wu Yi Tea: Michael Phelps
If you have been watching the Olympic Games lately you might have heard about the diet of Michael Phelps. He said in an interview with NBC that he eats about 12,000 calories a day! That is an absolutely astonishing number that almost no one could get away with unless you are an athlete of his caliber.
Phelps said he burns about 4,000 calories per workout and he workouts twice daily. When you have a schedule like that you can eat just about anything you want.
Part of Phelps’ diet includes drinking green tea a few times a day to keep his metabolism and energy high. He only eats three meals a day, which isn’t really recommended if you are consuming that many calories, but he is able to get away with it. He follows each of these three meals with a cup of green tea. Being that the best and most famous green tea is Wu Yi, we decided to talk about it!
