That's fine. Some good carbs, but nothing heavy is the way to go. If your body is busy digesting, it can actually take away from your workout. However, energy comes from carbs, so getting in some an hour or so before the workout can help increase performance...
...so basically what I'm saying is that what you're doing is fine.

17 hard boiled eggs, dipped in mayonnaise to shuttle nutrients faster, 20 min before training.

well if you're on the run a shake with some carbs in it will suffice but if you have time to cook a meal. i usually have my egg whites and oatmeal for my pre-workout meal about an hour or so before i hit the gym. or sometimes i'll opt for ezekiel bread with a bit of all natural peanut butter. just make sure you have something in your stomach before you go train. you're going for good clean protein sources and good clean complex carbs.
