Some Literotica people are on a diet. Here's a how-to report from Tim Lincecum. Tim Lincecum is a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants major league baseball team. Tim is five feet eleven inches tall and weighs about 168 pounds. Here's the careful diet that he uses to maintain his weight. (Comments?)

We've learned a lot about Tim Lincecum's(notes) diet over the past few years, including that he digs ice cream tacos before starts, doesn't mind downing a can of Dinty Moore beef stew every now and then and that he's loyal to drinking Red Bull, one of his sponsors.

But it wasn't until the San Francisco Giants pitcher revealed his usual order at In-N-Out that we got a true item to really turn our gastrointestinal systems. Mostly because Tiny Tim — who stood 4-foot-11 and weighed 85 pounds as a high school freshman — takes down an entire day's worth of recommended calories for someone of his size and activity level every time he goes through the drive-thru of the popular West Coast burger chain.

From USA Today:

His traditional fare? Three Double-Doubles. Two fries. A chocolate-strawberry shake. Ketchup please, but hold the lettuce and tomatoes.

"I'm not a big vegetable guy,'' he says.

Let's see, three burgers at 590 calories. Two fries at 395 calories. A shake at 590 calories. The grand total: 3,150 calories.

Lincecum has a weight gain of 11 pounds (he's up to 168 pounds, he reports) since spring training began.
 

We ectomorphs can get away with stuff that mere mesomorphs or endomorphs can't.


I have to admit that it was great fun to watch Lincecum last fall. As one who is a lifelong American Leaguer but whose interest in all professional sports has greatly diminished over the years, I'd never seen the guy pitch before.


Never in my life have I ever seen anybody put as much energy into a pitch as Lincecum; the torque he is able to apply through his flexibility and contortion is a marvel to behold ( but fun to see ). What amazes me is that— with all that effort devoted to throwing the ball hard— he has any control.


When I was young, I could throw a baseball as fast as anybody— but god only knows where it was gonna go. The legendary Steve Dalkowski ( upon whom the character of Nuke LaLoosh was based in the novel and film, "Bull Durham" ) scared the bejesus out of people for the same reason.


With the possible exceptions of lacrosse or ( ice ) hockey shots, there's little that'll put the fear of god in you faster than the sound of a baseball whistling past you two inches from your head.

A 'corky' cricket ball, doing about 90mph, has the same effect.
