The British swimmer consumes nearly four times the daily recommended calories to power his impressive performance in the pool. Hello Magazine


August 5, 2024 Tags:

Adam Peaty may not have secured the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but the British swimmer felt victorious in his way. After competing in his fourth Olympic final on Sunday and securing a silver medal, Peaty expressed deep satisfaction, saying, "In my heart I have won. These are happy tears." Despite the setback, Peaty’s resilience shone through. Later, he tested positive for Covid-19, casting doubt on his participation in the mixed and men’s 4x100m medley relay events. Nevertheless, Peaty made a remarkable return, helping his team to a second-place finish in the men’s 4x100m medley relay, behind the United States.
To achieve such high performance, Peaty relies on a rigorous training regime and a highly disciplined diet. At 29, he consumes between 7,500 and 8,000 calories daily during training—nearly four times the average recommended intake for an adult male. His diet includes a mix of high-protein and nutrient-rich meals designed to fuel his demanding workouts and support recovery.

Peaty begins his day with a hearty breakfast at 6 a.m., followed by a second breakfast around 9:30 a.m. on training days. His morning meal typically features high-protein granola with soya milk, Greek yogurt, and raisins. This combination not only provides sustained energy but is also easier on the stomach compared to heavier options like eggs or meat, which is crucial for intense training sessions.

To maintain his energy levels throughout his workouts, Peaty snacks on protein bars and bananas with peanut butter. He also consumes a caffeine shot before races or training sessions and stays well-hydrated by drinking around five litres of water daily.

Lunch is another crucial meal for Peaty, where he focuses on high-protein foods to support his rigorous schedule. His typical lunch includes chicken and rice with vegetables, or alternatives like sweet potato, chicken, fish, wholemeal toast, and protein shakes, which he drinks post-workout and before bed.

For dinner, Peaty adheres to a consistent routine, eating before 7 p.m. He prepares a meal consisting of whole grain rice, seaweed, salmon, and prawns, accompanied by a variety of vegetables like asparagus and broccoli. If he hasn’t had avocado earlier in the day, he often includes it in his dinner.

Adam Peaty’s diet is meticulously designed to ensure peak performance, blending high-protein and nutrient-dense foods to support his demanding training and recovery needs.
