Not for a riding day. Too much protein and not enough carbs for me. The one time I tried it I felt real bad, enough that I've had an aversion to eggs before rides since. One egg is ok to add some protein along with a large amount of carbs, before a full day in the saddle. But everyone's different. I've seen guys loading up on a Denny's Grand Slam with extra bacon before a race. Experiment and see what works for you.

Oatmeal is always good and healthy. The instant stuff has too much junk in it so I just microwave rolled oats- just as fast as instant and the only junk is that what I put in.
