I am fascinated by the extremes athletes in training put themselves through, especially when it comes to their diets. Swimmer Michael Phelps eats about 12,000 calories a day when training, and extreme marathoner Dean Karnazes eats 7,000 calories a day when running. It sounds a little crazy, but given how hard their bodies are working, it makes sense that they'd need more fuel than the rest of us....

Anyone who has watched a few Jets games knows that head coach Rex Ryan is a big guy, but if a New York Post report is to be believed, the trash-talking coach may be on pace for some kind of record. According to the article, Ryan takes in 7,000 calories every day, an astounding figure that would place his diet among the craziest in sports -- although it still wouldn't touch Michael Phelps' reported...
