I spoke with an olympic medalist, who was teaching a weighlifting course I was in. McDonalds, who sponsored the olympics, had free restaurants inside the olympic village. They were extremely popular. Many high end athletes can afford to eat almost anything they want, as their metabolic rates are so high and they train so much. Depending on the sport, many athletes will calorie load ahead of an event. The Michael Phelps diet is especially hilarious:
