The breakfast of champions isn’t what you think — at all. Athletes don’t ban carbs, swimmers don’t adhere to the “wait one hour after eating to enter the pool” rule, and fast food is involved eight times out of 10. Crazy, we know!
More than 10,000 athletes will consume 460,000 pounds of food a day at the Rio Olympic Games, according to Eater.com. That alone sounds record-breaking, doesn’t it? Although this might not be their everyday diet, this is what they’re indulging in before big competitions.
