Thank you David.
I’m tracking the kcal-value on my Garmin, like @WindWarrior mentions, after the ride.
Edit: this would be for the CHO in value.
My carbs/kcal are based on the actual foods I consume on the ride. fatsecret.co.za is the data source to get the (estimated) carb/kcal values, then completed on a spreadsheet before the ride, so I know what value to enter on the Garmin at the end of the ride.
4 hour ride
6 hour ride, 100 miles, on a super hot day
This is on the lower limit of energy needs, and not a specific amount.
Even if the net results shows green, it’s not the max tolerable.
