We have added wellness fields for carbs, protein and fat, all in grams: ![Screenshot 2026-02-17 at 11.49.24](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/6/9/69d33cbbedd5ece009ae2aa0ac1c79b5807dbf77.png) You can add these to the wellness capture dialog, click “Fields” at the bottom: ![Screenshot 2026-02-17 at 11.46.08](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/5/5/5595a04fad83534b104bb2024dfa8d7f1901d59a.png) And Options → Wellness to display them on the calendar: ![Screenshot 2026-02-17 at 11.47.40](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/5/e/5e202800e84d6743d60296e5635c25e6f1eca927.png) You can also plot them on the /fitness page. HealthFit is adding support to sync these from Apple Health. Hopefully other sync and food apps will also add support. For people using the API these are the new fields on wellness: ``` /** g consumed */ public Float carbohydrates; /** g consumed */ public Float protein; /** g consumed */ public Float fatTotal; ``` ---

Thanks @David Yes macros integration will be available with update 12.8.4. If anyone wants to beta test the feature, feel free to reach out from within the app. As soon as Apple opens the beta, I will invite you for beta testing this feature. ---

@david Can we also set targets so we can track and act accordingly? ---

BreakAway has supported these fields for quite some time, mapping them to Custom Fields which users created. Will these be migrated / mapped over to these new native fields or they are handled natively in the backend and no changes needed to be done for these existing fields. (eg: You’ve promoted these custom fields to native fields) I’m worried that with these native fields, this will now create churn and possibly ambiguity for moving forward. tx ---

I wasn’t aware of that. Users can choose to switch to the native fields and use the download/upload wellness CSV to copy in the historical custom field data. You should probably add the new ones but continue to support the custom field codes. ---

(@david, small) Feature request: 😉 Could your provide a direct feature to copy all historical data from one (wellness) field to another — for any arbitrary pair (from, to) the user specifies? Would surely come handy with many fields, not only this time… ---

I would think, download wellness csv with the one you want to copy, rename the header and reupload csv. Should be a breeze. ---

On this feature and other wellness tracking still would be nice if we had a ‘OK and prev’ button along with ‘OK and next’. I need a simple way to get to the previous days’ results. ---

FYI, since it was left out the OP and save some folks some initial error messages, the API variable name for Fat is actually fatTotal, while Carbohydrates and Protein are intuitively carbohydrates and protein respectively. ---

Love it. Do you have electrolyte/sodium or fluid fields anywhere? ---

Can fat be displayed in the summary fields of an activity same as carbohydrates? I can’t seem to find it? ---

I have amended the post, tx. The field names are apparently the ones Apple Health uses. > [@Dr\_Alex\_Harrison](#): > > Do you have electrolyte/sodium or fluid fields anywhere? - Hydration: Well Hydrated (1), Hydrated(2), Dehydrated(3), Very Dehydrated(4) - Hydration(L): Litres consumed > [@Stephen\_Blackburn](#): > > Can fat be displayed in the summary fields of an activity No, this fat value is “total fat consumed” for the day not per activity. ---

I found “CHO In” and “CHO Used” : what’s the difference? I added “CHO In” in table view and was able to enter the total carbs in grams. Ideally, I’d like to have a column to display grams per hour on average, and track this for my trail runs as a graph. I someone would be able to help me out 😉 I’ve also started to track sodium intake in a similar way. And regarding fluids if there’s a column I could use for tracking mL intakes (iso drinks, water). It would be interesting to put in perspective against temperatures, and also sodium/CHO values. ---

Looks great. Is there any chance these fields could also be auto-populated from Garmin Connect? Would be very helpful. ![image](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/4/e/4e73f8b3ab76a4388c86b461d051c62a4be23003.jpeg) ---

> Answering my own question for anyone who finds this: Garmin doesn’t pass the Connect+ food log to Intervals, so I built a self-hosted tool that does – it writes calories, carbs, protein and fat from Garmin Connect into these native fields once the day is over. The chart “Garmin Bridge: Nutrition macros” in the library shows them stacked by energy share. https://forum.intervals.icu/t/132863 ![image](https://forum.intervals.icu/uploads/default/original/3X/1/8/1864adbed285aa65dbfeb1b991cbd3a178977bf8.png)
