I think she also has the FKTs on the AT and CDT.
I would be careful choosing a diet based on what famous sports people eat. They mostly have heightened metabolism due to their exercise and take tons of supplements (plus the ..ahem... unofficial supplements alas Lance Armstrong). They also get paid to pretend to eat or drink sponsored food. All not really applicable to normal people.
if you need to eat or drink protein supplements, your diet is not sufficient.
