What professional athlete am I?

For breakfast, I eat three fried egg sandwiches with a lot of cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onions, and mayonnaise. I drink two cups of coffee, eat a five egg omelet, one bowl of grits, three slices of French toast with powdered sugar, and three chocolate chip pancakes.

For lunch, I eat one pound of pasta with tomato sauce, two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread, plus energy drinks that equal around 1,000 calories.

For dinner, I eat a pound of pasta with sauce, a whole pizza of six or eight slices, and more energy drinks.

What professional athlete has this diet plan?

Michael Phelps

Calories

Calories in = Calories burned (Persons stays the same weight)

Eat more calories than you burn= weight gain

Burn more calories than you eat = weight loss

An extra 3,500 calories = 1 lb. gained

Healthy weight loss would be 1% of body mass per week

Ex. 200 lb. woman’s goal would be 2 lbs. per week

Joe gained 8 lbs in 65 days.

How many calories per day is Joe overeating?

How should he begin to lose the 8 lbs?
