And yeah, Phelps is pretty much the textbook case of why the calorie model is way too oversimplified: It breaks down and cries when confronted with numbers like 12k calories. How are you supposed to explain that by only looking at a table?
It "breaks down" only at the extremes. Same with the BMI chart: though top-tier athletes may get false readings as "overweight," it's accurate for the vast majority of people.
You'd benefit if you'd stop making everything a universal. What's true of Michael Phelps isn't true for you, newbie boy. Sorry to say it.
