Yeah, it will because remember, the egg digest in 23 minutes, 23 minutes, all that protein and, and fats are available instantly with very little digestion, very little digestive effort.

When is the egg out of the first stomach? So, can I eat an egg 10 minutes before I do a workout?
[Aajonus]
Yeah, absolutely.
[Attendee]
10 minutes before. It's got a first stomach that fast?
[Aajonus]
Absolutely.It holds up in the duodenum a little bit longer cuz of the bile dumping in to use the egg yoke, but that's still not very long. Probably five minutes, it's left the stomach.
It takes very little hydrochloric acid because all the egg white is already liquid.
[Attendee]
But can you take it 5 minutes before a strenuous hour long workout?
[Aajonus]
Absolutely. But you're gonna get hungry. You're gonna get hungry with only an egg.
[Attendee]
I get maybe a little tired, but I never experienced hunger.
[Aajonus]
Okay. Well, you've got enough weight on you, so that's good. Probably okay.
