Is it possible to pre-calculate the carbs that will be used during a workout? Would be nice for optimization the nutrition strategy!!!
Have a look at similar previous activities?
There are general guidelines of 60-120g of carbs per hour if the ride is over 1.5 hours. In general the total calories/energy expenditure is greatly in excess of the calories from the above carbs in take. In general I’d suggest trying with more carbs first as I understand there are limited downsides and then see how you get on and try adjusting from there.
Summary from Trainer Road here https://www.trainerroad.com/blog/how-to-use-carbs-for-maximum-performance/
Now that they actually use AI, I would be interested in some sort of nutrition forecast!
Not only would the AI tell you how many carbs etc you need for a particular workout, but also tell you what to eat in order to prepare for next day’s workout. Perhaps, it could even link-up with MyFitnessPal or similar apps to take into consideration what you ate the previous days. It could also adjust demands according to the actual burned kJ’s during your workout. I am aware that this must me a huge endeavour to implement. But I am not talking about doint it tomorrow

With our newer models, we can get into the finer details of nutrition and fueling. Lots of really interesting things that are seen in the data!
Sounds promising!
