Hello! Ben and I made a detour to Taco Bell last night on the way home from the airport. I really should have abstained but my willpower was already asleep (like the rest of me should have been)!
But, Taco Bell apparently makes for great fuel because I felt really great on my run today! I ran 8 miles in 1:10:28 with music and a smile 
Part of my Fitbloggin swag was this pair of New Balance capris – love them! See Vegas in the background? 
After my run I made an open faced egg sandwich and used the other side of the bread for sunflower butter and jam.
Since January I have been trying to eat more protein and my #1 pick is eggs. I realize eggs have more to offer than just protein, so I thought I could share the benefits of Eggland’s Omega-3 packed eggs.
A few Omega 3 facts (according to the American Heart Association and EB):
-
Reduces inflammation
-
Helps support healthy blood pressure
-
decrease risk of arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats)
-
maintains the fluidity of cell membranes
As a runner, the most relevant benefit for me is that Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation. I’ll take eating eggs over taking an inflammatory pain pill any day! Plus this Runner’s World article says Omega-3 might reduce exercise induced asthma. 
Right now I take a multivitamin when I remember, but am not a big fan of supplements (and hate the burpy aftermath of certain pills too) so getting extra health benefits through fortified foods seems like a good deal to me.
Question: If you have to choose between ketchup OR hot sauce for the rest of your life which would you go with?
I use both on my eggs every time I eat them. This would be tragic, but I might pick hot sauce if I got to use multiple kinds.

Definitely hot sauce and all of its spicy deliciousness!
Hot sauce! I love eggs I eat one almost every morning
Definitely HOT sauce
i eat it on everything. Yum.
Hot sauce for sure. Sriracha, specifically.
I put salsa on my eggs too. It’s to the point where I can’t really eat eggs plain now!
I’d vote for salsa! I like ketchup but salsa is like the best of both
Why is everyone saying hot sauce? The answer is clearly ketchup. Who is going to coat their fries in hot sauce?!
Fries are the only thing that made me waver in my decision!
salsa! I was brainwashed due to living in Texas & Mexico – I truly believe salsa is its own food group!
I keep trying to make myself eat eggs, but I still hate them so much.
Great time/run!
I try not to hate eggs too… doesn’t work.
Ketchup. Hands down.
Hot sauce. Hands down.
Oh, and cute new header!
Thanks
Ketchup. No question. Hot sauce is not even on my radar.
oooooooooooh toughie. my fav condiment is mustard. the spicy kind so i’m going to have to go with hot sauce
That’s tough! But I think I’d have to go with ketchup.
That Forerunner is a sweet unit, does it track calorie counts as well? Stopwatch, too? Just curious what kind of functionality it has!
Hot sauce, hands down! True story: I went through the majority of my life with an intense hatred/fear of ketchup. I couldn’t look at it or smell it without wanting to vomit. I’ve since recovered, but old me would not be able to read your blog without retching.
I’m glad you’ve recovered and are here
Ohhh… that’s a tough question, I love them both! If I had to pick one though I would have to say ketchup. I use it on a few more things than I do hot sauce.
Hot sauce any day! Would you believe me if I told you I’m not a ketchup fan?
Hot sauce for sure because I cant even have katchup without hot sauce in it! lol
Ketchup for sure!
Yes! A fitness blogger that just admitted to going to Taco Bell! You made my day. To fast food is to human
I LOVE eggs, too! I have them for breakfast and lunch almost everyday! Eggland’s best is a great brand, but they are sure spendy! Ahh I haven’t had Taco Bell in sooo long! So bad for you, but soooo worth it. Oh and I could live without either!! haha I don’t use either for anything!
Hot sauce, specifically tobacco chipotle
Hot sauce, specifically Tobasco chipotle
Seems like my answer is in the minority, but I have to say ketchup! I am a wimp and hot sause is too hot for me.
I LOVE ketchup.
Thanks for the tips on eggs! I needed that one!
Definitely ketchup. I’ve never really been a hot sauce fan. I’m such a wimp.
I’d choose ketchup
I find I crave eggs when I’m not getting enough protein. Omega 3 is why I’m trying to eat salmon more as I usually don’t.
I would choose the hot sauce. Ketchup is not something I like – eeuww.
I like that open faced sandwich you made. Yummy.
That’s it, I’m going to have to shove mustard in my pants and steal my way into the competition. Because ketchup or hot sauce? Blech. Just can’t be done. The closest I’ll dare to get is salsa.
I can’t think of ONE situation where I’d eat hot sauce. Never had it, never will. Just not my kind of condiment.
