How the Elite Eat: Dara Torres
Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at 01:27 
A: The biggest change is recovery. I don’t recover as quickly as I used to, so now I try to eat more foods—lean protein in particular—that help me recover quicker.
Q: Favorite dinner or recipe?
A: A mixed green salad, turkey-spinach lasagna, garlic bread and green beans. My favorite cookbook is one I got in college—Where’s Mom Now That I Need Her?
Q: Best piece of nutrition advice you’ve ever gotten?
A: It’s OK to have bites of food that probably aren’t the best for you because that way you won’t deprive yourself and then want more of that food.
Q: Do you have an eating mantra you try to live by?
A: I eat what I want, when I want, but I exercise so I can do that. link

I see changes in the daily performance only including some portions of protein of whey. It s not small, among 6 - 8 hours ( !!! ) less per day that the body dedicates him to the digestion.
up to 8 hours to train or to recover.... In one month, it does a difference of up to 240 hours!
