Fast Brekkie!

7:00 AM Boston time

Anyone else had a REALLY hard time getting out of bed this morning? I did! I did! For some reason, I felt more tired this morning than yesterday morning! Now that I’ve got my coffee though, I feel a little better!

Breakfast and Food Scanner App
I had grand plans to make myself an egg white and bacon sandwich on a bagel today, but since I could not get out of bed, I ended up buying myself an Egg White + Turkey Sausage Flatbread from Dunkin Donuts. I suppose I could have made myself a bagel with peanut butter again, but I wanted eggs this morning.

I also enjoyed my usual iced coffee with cream and sugar.

This flatbread is one of the healthier options on their menu, so I went for it because I know that it fills me up. I decided to consult my handy app called Food Scanner, which you can use to search for almost any food out there to get its nutritional information. You can also use it as a “food diary” by clicking “I Ate This!” once you find your food item. I use it primarily to ensure that I’m getting enough nutrients each day, especially protein, which I often don’t get enough of in my diet.

Aside from the amount of sodium in it, it actually isn’t that bad. Check out Food Scanner’s report on this egg white & turkey flatbread.

It actually has a lot of protein so I can hopefully get more of that today than my usual intake. I’ve learned from multiple sources that protein is just as important (if not more) in recovery from long runs as carbohydrates are. It is an important key factor in rebuilding muscle and tissue breakdown.

Roommate Search
For the past couple of months, I have been in search for someone to take over my room for the remainder of my lease. As some of you might have been able to tell from my blogs, I’m pretty much at Matt’s house everyday and we have discussed and decided for me to move in with him. Soooo…since I haven’t had much luck finding a new girl, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to make an announcement here.

If you know of any females (in her 20′s to early 30′s) who is looking for a room to rent, please let me know! You can have them email me at runfoodierun@gmail.com.

That’s it for now! Enjoy your Tuesday — looks like another sunny one for Beantown!

Happy running & good eating!
