Nutrition & Supplements

Not only will the combined competitors, coaches, and staff at the Summer Games be consuming 800,000 eggs, they'll also be throwing down more than one million apples, 936,000 bananas, 312,000 oranges, and 684,000 carrots. Courtesy of the Olympic food provider Aramark, here's what else the group dining at the Beijing Athletic Village will be ingesting.


  • 93,000 pounds of seafood
  • 260,000 pounds of meat
  • 38,000 pounds of pasta (dry)
  • 134,000 pounds of rice (dry)
  • 70,000 gallons of milk
  • 400,000 boxes of cereal

In total, 28,000 Olympic folks will eat 3.5 million meals. Now, that's a lot of food. Fortunately, most of the crew will be burning their fair share of calories.
