I don't dare eat before I ride. I have found myself in need of a restroom with no one in sight for several miles at 4:30 am. Instead, I take a small sip of strong coffee and that usually will get rid of any hunger for an hour. When I reach my destination, we have those catering trucks, roach coaches as some of ya will call them. I then let my hunger tell me what and how much I should eat at that time.
