Burn More Calories, Threshold Workouts, Crosswinds, and More – Ask a Cycling Coach 402

So lots of talk about how proper fueling of the workouts is important. But not buch guidance on how many carbs should be eaten for a workout. Sure, the workouts give calories burned but that’s a sum of fat and carbs burned so no need to eat all those calories as carbs for a ride to replace them all. The percent carbs we burn depends on the intensity we are putting out. Yes there is:

but it doesn’t know the actual wattage targets we are hitting of how the workout is planned so its more an estimate.
For example sweet spot workouts for me go from 520 to 800 calories for an hour for my current FTP and Gibbs+1 went from 878 calories with what my FTP was in December to 1106 calories now. So clearly different workouts of the same type and different ftp values can have a great impact on how many calories I need but don’t really know what I need to properly fuel a workout
