Eggs are great as long as you eat the yolks because that's where all the important nutrients are. Many people are afraid of eating egg yolks because they are misinformed thinking that egg yolks are unhealthy. I find eggs filling, satisfying and very easily digestible and they combine very well with almost any other type of food. I can eat them 30 min before my ride then get on my bike and start riding without any digestive issues. After a breakfast like that I am good for up to 3 hour bike ride without needing to ingest any calories. If my rides are longer than 3 hours I will bring some snacks usually some dried dates and peanut butter or some other real food. I never fuel with sports drinks or energy gels.
