I rarely eat before 2 pm, but then my morning commute rarely exceeds 10 miles. I do have coffee. I'm also an oatmeal fan, but as my dessert after supper. If I do eat in the morning, I tend to be hungry all day. Even when I go on longer rides (30 to 70 miles) I don't start to feel hungry until I've been riding at least 2 hours, then I start nibbling. However, once the sun goes down, watch out! My Dad used to say I ate everything that didn't run away or get pulled away. I know that is completely against everything the nutritionist tell us, but I've never bonked. Of course I don't race.
