First, the egg white sandwich (assuming on whole grain bread!) contains protein that is very bioavailable, and the carbohydrates are healthy and complex. Since your workouts are at a high intensity, I'm sure you are depleting most of your glycogen storage. Unfortunately that sandwich an hour after isn't going to cut it. That 30 min "window of opportunity" for simple carbs is vital (especially in the morning when you need to replenish your energy stores to get you through the day). Try to drink a gatorade, eat some carrots, have some fruit juice, or other foods that aren't too high in fiber and have a higher glycemic index rating. Once you've replenished your glycogen stores you are ready for the eggwhites and whole wheat.
