Hexis (fuelling plans) has integrated with Intervals.icu

@Jan_Fineleg no worries! I’ll get some Intervals specific resources created today and confirm a webinar date with the Hexis team and David. Once confirmed we’ll get the details up in this forum.

Conscious you might have a workout this AM that needs fuelling for and recovering from so here is a general guide on how to sync workouts from your training plan :+1:

Great initiative, you could do a demonstration on youtube, then it would also be interesting what types of food are available as many of us are from different countries and it is possible that food is not available, it happened to us once with a similar application. I would be interested in offering this to my athletes.

Hi @Luisma_Gallego_Soy_P no problem! What countries foods are you specifically interested in and I can check the databases? Thanks

Spain and Germany. Thanks

Hi Luisma, I can confirm we have many popular Spanish and German products and barcodes available. Typical supermarket items are from the Open Food Facts database to compliment other government databases. I hope this helps.

hi David,
I am writing to you from italy :wink: in order to understand if I can find foods (I don’t think they are translated into Italian) and also how the app works overall is it not possible to have a month of free trial?

thanks,
Fabio.

Hi @DavidMDunne, i’m trying to connect app to Intervals icu but the the app just tells me ‘only 1 platform can be connected at a time’ no option to continue to link to intervals. I’m not connected to any other platform as far as I’m aware

Hi @Peter_Davies thanks for your message. Can you please ensure you have the latest version of the app downloaded and DM me. I can jump online and help resolve for you no problem :+1:

Hi @Fabiomtbbiker thanks for the message! We do not currently translate the foods into Italian but have a wide range of traditional Italian food (the best tasting!). Here is also some demos although we have updated our food logging feature to include image recognition and voice note functionality. I hope this helps?

So I thought I’d give this a go, since you’re connected with Intervals, and bc I’m having some difficulty nailing down proper fueling. Paid for the monthly version and after a couple of days, I have to say it’s hard to see that this is really ready for prime time or a paid first time use. It would be appropriate to offer a trial period (maybe there is, I didn’t see it). A few issues present themselves. The main one is the workload involved in trying to log food and create meals (which is really the point here). The database is not extensive and obviously not as comprehensive as Cronometer or MFP, and so creating recipes is such a drag, and hit or miss with lots of guessing and finding “similar” items that “may” reflect the food I’m using. I’m actually not going to mess with it anymore (at least for now until it matures and I don’t have to do the work that AIs and databases should be doing). One UI issue I noted is when I go to favorite a food on my iphone 15 max pro, the list went behind the keyboard and I could not scroll to the bottom and select an item.

Hi @Jamie_Smith thanks for your feedback and I will pass on to the team. If you have time I’d love to gather more of your thoughts on a call? It can be particularly helpful to us to learn from your experience. You also mentioned the workload of logging, have you tried the voice logging feature using the prompt “portion, quantity, food”, e.g. for breakfast I have 3 medium eggs, 1 slice of toast and a black coffee. We’ve found the voice logging to significantly reduce the effort required and perhaps this may be one to explore further.

In terms of recipes, we have built our own database of over 1,000 (a sample can be found here). We will release this feature into the app this side of Christmas :+1:

Is there a youtube or vimeo video of how it works? I have several athletes interested

Hi @Luisma_Gallego_Soy_P sure. There is a list of videos here is also some demos although we have updated our food logging feature to include image recognition and voice note functionality. I hope this helps!

Hi @DavidMDunne! Hexis looks really cool. I had a question along the lines of international cuisine. I have a mostly vegetarian diet (eggs ok) consisting of primarily Indian food. Does the database cater to vegetarians? Does it offer Indian dishes? I’m assuming those can be added by the user?
