‘One and done’: Michael Phelps says dopers should be given lifetime ban

Phelps was actually so good that he needed to slow his performance down with bongloads and Subway sandos so people wouldn’t assume he was doping.
And Usain Bolt ate exclusively McDoods Nugs.
IIRC, the reason he gave is they're consistent pretty much anywhere in the world. Last thing you want before an event is food poisoning.
with all the calories they’re burning they can afford it anyway. i vaguely remember phelps talking about his usual daily meals being like stacks of chocolate chip waffles, and not chicken breast with salad as you might expect.
It's both, not one or the other. Dude was trying to get 8,000+ calories a day and also huge amounts of protein at the same time
it's important that people understand you can't mainline one type of intake when trying to both sustain the workouts/competition going on and preparing for a big meet. Not only does it get monotonous your body needs fats to refresh the digestive track and propel all that protein and carbs through the intestines. Trying that on a homogenous diet would be miserable.
