About

Carbs Burned by afasteryou =========================== Track your carbohydrate usage in real time. This field shows the cumulative grams of carbohydrates (CHO) burned during your session – tailored to your personal metabolism. ------------------------------------------------------------ HOW IT WORKS 1. Take the afasteryou Powertest (paid, online) or automatically use our Powertest AI via Garmin Sync. Both provide your VO₂max and VLamax – essential for accurate substrate usage calculation. 2. Enter the code shown on your Garmin at: https://afasteryou.com/connect/ 3. It may take up to 10 minutes after activation before the data field updates. Until then, a pairing code will be shown. 4. Add the field to a Running profile (uses speed) or a Cycling profile (requires power meter). 5. Start your session – carbs burned (g) will accumulate in real time. ------------------------------------------------------------ REQUIREMENTS * Cycling – requires a paired power meter * Running – uses speed and altitude; no power sensor needed * The field shows a pairing code until VO2max and VLamax are set * Works indoors as long as power (bike) or speed (run) is available ------------------------------------------------------------ DATA SYNC * Your metabolic data (VO2max, VLamax) is synced automatically every 12 hours * If you complete a new Powertest, updates are applied at the next sync ------------------------------------------------------------ ACCURACY Calculations follow the metabolic model of Alois Mader (2003) and have been validated against lab-grade gas exchange data in cooperation with MSH Medical School Hamburg (University of Applied Sciences) ------------------------------------------------------------ WHY USE IT * Monitor glycogen consumption in real time – essential for fueling strategies and smart pacing * Identify intensity thresholds where carb usage accelerates * Complements pace, heart rate, or power metrics with metabolic context ------------------------------------------------------------ UPCOMING FEATURES * AI-based Powertest guidance for daily optimized metabolic values ------------------------------------------------------------ OTHER PRODUCTS * **FatMax %** – shows real-time fat oxidation relative to your individual FatMax * **Training AI** – adaptive training plans for running and cycling, synced to Garmin via Garmin Training * **Activity AI** – advanced post-workout analysis: Fat & Carb usage, VO2max, VLamax, Training Score, CdA, muscle and blood lactate simulation ------------------------------------------------------------ SUPPORT Setup: https://afasteryou.com Email: [email protected]

What's new

1.0.0 — Major Update: Spline Calculation & Smarter Pairing • Carbs are now computed via a server-fitted spline curve, so the values match the afasteryou web platform exactly — no more rounding drift. • Smarter pairing flow: 5 min → 10 → 20 → 40 → … re-checks after install. • View switches from "Requesting…" to live carb tracking automatically. • Added: D2 Mach 2/Pro, Edge Explore 2, Edge MTB, Forerunner 570, Instinct Crossover AMOLED, Venu 4 (41/45mm), Venu X1. 0.0.8 - Added support for Garmin Edge 550, Edge 850, Forerunner 970, and Fenix 8 devices. 0.0.7 – Activity AI Integration • Added Powertest AI via Garmin Sync – enables real-time carb tracking without a paid Powertest. • VO₂max and VLamax are now estimated automatically from Garmin data. (HF and Power required) • Updated pairing messages and improved background sync performance. • Syncs every 2 min or 10 min (device-dependent); checks for new Powertest (AI) data every 24 h. 0.0.6 – Bugfix for Background Data Visibility • Fixed an issue where the registered flag in background data was not correctly set, which could prevent the pairing code from being hidden as intended. • This bug only affected devices capable of background data handling. All other devices were unaffected. 0.0.5 – Improved messaging and error handling • Data field now displays “Requesting…” until a successful server connection has been made. The pairing code is shown only after the first verified platform request. • Fixed a bug where missing speed values in running activities could cause calculation issues. 0.0.4 – Carbohydrate tracking now automatically resets to zero when a new workout begins 0.0.3 – Improved compatibility with Garmin Edge devices by extracting workout data directly from the info object within compute() 0.0.2 – Fixed bug where readiness check used an incorrect reference 0.0.1 – First release – real-time carbohydrate consumption (g) based on personal metabolic profile. Requires afasteryou Powertest and pairing via afasteryou.com/connect
