August 15, 2008 Joe Joyce goes for the 'breakfast' gold Play video

(NECN) - NECN meteorologist Joe Joyce takes on the "breakfast of champions." He challenged himself to eat a 4,000 calorie breakfast -- as Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps does to stay fit and energized.

In this clip, you will see Joe's progress as he eats like a madman -- complete with his goggles and all!

The breakfast, including pancakes, omelets, egg sandwiches and French toast, was purchased from IHOP.
