FAQ

Do I need a nutrition app for cycling?

Not strictly — but tracking carbs per hour during rides is one of the highest-leverage changes most amateurs can make. A free calculator gives targets. An app like Fuelin automates daily nutrition.

Is MyFitnessPal good enough?

For basic macros, yes. But it doesn't understand periodisation — same targets on rest day and 5-hour ride day. For fuel-for-the-work-required, you need something that reads your training calendar.

NOT SURE WHICH TO CHOOSE?
