Amount of food

I am amazed at what athletes can eat while training. Including myself. At training camp I calculated I ate 7500 cal in 2 days. That is over 3 days of food in 2 days. And it wasn’t just me, I was joined by over 40 other athletes that were eating as if we were starved. I saw athletes eat a large snickers bar, 2 bottles of pepsi just for a snack during the ride. I managed to eat 3 plates of pasta in 1 meal and was hungry 2 hrs afterwards. Boy the food we eat
