In-N-Out Burger, smoothies, and ways to gain weight for the NFL Combine – SB Nation

The NFL Combine is a place where the best and brightest football hopefuls come to be dissected with the utmost precision. Just about everything you can measure is counted at the combine, down to hyper-specific minutiae.

Among those many measurements is weight, which is perhaps most important in the trenches. Some linemen try to lose weight for the combine, while others need to gain weight. The latter can lead to some interesting choices for accelerated weight increase in a short amount of time.

Enter Netane Muti, a Fresno State guard who checks in at 315 pounds. Thats not too much different than his listed weight of 307 as a junior in college, but its an increase nonetheless. I think we found the secret to Muti adding weight.

What Muti might weigh is neither here nor there, but Id like to discuss his choice of burger. This hits close to home for me, as I worked at In-N-Out in high school, which was over 25 years ago. The largest burger I ever saw in my In-N-Out days was an 8x8, and that was big enough to fit in a single box, with no room for fries.

A 10x10 is just a massive concoction, and far too unwieldy for a mere two slices of bread. As someone who has polished off hundreds of In-N-Out burgers in the day, I consider anything above a 4x4 to be too much for one burger. For one, the thing is just too difficult to bite into.

Also, Im not sure what the proper condiment-to-meat ratio is for a burger, but 10 patties and a normal amount of lettuce and tomatoes is too unbalanced, in my opinion. My vote for anyone looking to consume 10 meat patties in one sitting is to get two 3x3s and a 4x4, each within its own buns and with a more delicious ratio of accoutrements to meat.

My other reaction to Mutis boast was that I didnt think a 10x10 was even possible. In-N-Out has the simplest menu of any fast food chain, and doesnt even list any burger larger than a Double-Double, their signature offering. You can delve into the secret menu and get larger burgers, but I thought the biggest allowable these days was a 4x4, for the reasons offered above.

So I was glad that Jonas Shaffer also tweeted a picture of what I first assumed was Mutis burger, but instead is a photo at least six years old, if not older. So I wont go into a detailed breakdown of Mutis condiments, since we really dont know. (My go-to is grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, no spread, and add pickles, if you were wondering.)

A 10x10 burger is something to order once, to say you did it. Its like visiting the Empire State Building. Sure its an amazing structure, but the payoff isnt worth all the hassle of going through it in the first place. Just order three or four burgers that combine (get it?) for 10 patties, and call it a day.

St. Johns offensive tackle Ben Bartch told reporters in Indianapolis that he gained weight in a much less appetizing way than eating In-N-Out. Try not to gag when you read what went into his breakfast smoothie:

Bartch, youre doing it all wrong! Eat In-N-Out burgers like your fellow combine participant! While its true that there actually isnt an In-N-Out location near St. Johns campus in Minnesota, he couldve done a lot better by eating a burger for breakfast every morning and been much better off, TBH.

Bartchs shake is horrifying. Its disgusting. Its ... unnecessary. The general flavor profile of this shake is bunch of trash, and thats precisely what hes putting in his body.

If we break down this grotesque soup into its parts we get the general caloric profile of this shake.

Thats roughly the average caloric intake a person should have in a day, in one shake. Granted, hes trying to gain weight, so its understandable but I cant help but feel like theres a better way.

Mens Health ran a story last year exploring some of the best high-calories weight gain shakes, and while not the absolutely gut-busting 2,000 calories, this is a perfect one.

12 oz water, milk, or yogurt2 scoops vanilla-flavored protein1 apple, core removed, and sliced into wedges1 cup of spinach2 tbsp of almonds cup of uncooked oatsIce as neededCinnamon to taste

Im a big fan of the apple and cinnamon flavor profile here, and we can easily increase the 535 calories the shake has as written. We change out the 12 ounces of water for milk, throw in an extra scoop of protein, double the almonds and oats, and we now have a 1,000-calorie smoothie that is MUCH better than the egg-based madness he was was consuming. If he were to add some peanut butter to the mix, hes where he needs to be and doesnt need to hold his nose to drink it.
