You've got to remember that appetite variance between people is huge. I know it's a result of me being a ham in the past, but I could bulk on 6k cals no problem because my appetite is almost limitless. Then again, I've got fucked up hunger/satiety signals in general so I never get hungry either (making cuts super easy). It's literally just numbers to me when I'm on a bulk/cut since I'm never hungry and never full. Of course I prefer the higher numbers of a bulk since I get to enjoy more flavors day-to-day, but it's weird how drastically different people's hunger/satiety signals can be. It's entirely possible that Phelps lucked out and doesn't get painfully full eating the amount of calories required to sustain his intense training.
