Carb and Load

Trick or Treat’s what many kids across Pittsburgh will say tonight, as for me Carb and Load is what im saying. Whole grains, whole wheats, whole oats, oh my!

When I woke up I had an egg white sandwich with blueberries, kiwi

A very healthy assortment of fruit. Kiwi = the bomb of all fruits, but apples are good 2, and blueberries, and goji, acai…. I love fruit!

Speaking of fruit, the mail man delivered my Bear Naked Tropical Fruit Bar sample.

Mango’s, Papaya, Coconut, Pineapple. All crammed into a hand sized bar. I didn’t eat mine yet because I had all my nutrition planned out for today, but Ill be sure to let you know how I liked it.

After church, and running around for find a new running shirt “because tomorrows going to be freezing” It seems my short sleeve shirts are not in season. Anyways, Mom made a delicious salad with whole wheat pasta, bread. Like I said, carbo loading to the max today. The proper way.

  • To carbo load you want most of your calories from complex carbohydrates, so the fat doesn’t become a source of empty calories. 4000 calories in carbs is a lot of carbs, but if you put in some peanut butter, and fat, the calories rise and become like an empty source.

A great source of carbs,

the enemy of dieters…

Whole Wheat Pretzels…

Just 7 of these sticks pack on 22g of carbs. Wowza. I never eat whole wheat pretzels, but tonight I was eating everything whole grain in sight. So why not? Sean = Race Car, Carbs = Super Fuel, Spirit of Pittsburgh Marathon = My race. wahooo!

And you have the other kinda carbs. CaNdY! No, I didnt eat any candy, because I dont wanna risk getting sick before my big race. I cant tell you the last time I had a candy bar.

I hope you all are having a great Halloween. Be safe.
