It's not hard to eat while bicycling - I just pull over for a moment.

Any other exercise, you just stop doing it for a moment. It's hard to think of sport or exercise that wouldn't let you stop and eat. Maybe long distance open water swimming??

As far as oatmeal - LOL, I don't bring it cooked. I just eat raw instant oatmeal washed down with protein drink. I keep the oatmeal in a little sandwich bag. It's light and fits in pocket. I pull over to eat it - don't want to crash my bike, lol.

I find that drinking whey protein with carbs helps my performance a lot and shortens the recovery period. Eating fat during exercise upsets my stomach.

Here's article on what tour de france cyclists eat during race days:
