The best EatMyRide alternatives for smarter fueling in 2026

EatMyRide earned its name by telling cyclists exactly how much to eat and drink on a ride. It has grown since then: it now covers running and triathlon too, syncs planned workouts from TrainingPeaks and routes from Strava, Komoot, and RideWithGPS, and sends fuel alerts to your Garmin during the session. On the US App Store there is a free plan, and Premium is $8.99 a month or $45.99 a year.

People look for an alternative for a few reasons: they want daily meals planned around training, not only the workout; they want a race-week plan; they want a human coach; or they just want a different app. This list is sorted by those jobs. Mavr publishes this article, so read the Mavr section with that in mind. Prices and features were checked on official sites and the US App Store in October 2026.

The short answer

1. Mavr: best for daily fueling around your training

Mavr is a fueling app for runners, cyclists, triathletes, and Hyrox athletes. Where EatMyRide plans the workout, Mavr plans the day: it reads your sessions from Strava, Garmin, TrainingPeaks, Runna, Intervals.icu, or Apple Health and sets carbs, protein, calories, and hydration for each day, with meals timed around your sessions.

• Pro: daily targets that rise on long-ride and brick days and drop on recovery days.
• Pro: race-day plans with carb loading, pre-race meal timing, and per-hour carb and sodium targets.
• Pro: Kai, an AI nutrition coach, with photo, voice, and barcode food logging.
• Con: no Garmin data field for alerts during the ride.
• Con: less micronutrient detail than Cronometer.
• Price: free trial with full access, then a Mavr Pro subscription. Available on iOS.

2. Saturday: best like-for-like swap for workout fuel

Saturday is the closest match to what EatMyRide does in a session. It turns your workout, the weather, and your inputs into carb, fluid, and sodium targets, and it can show you how to mix your own drink from sugar, water, and salt. Its support and privacy pages list Garmin, COROS, Intervals.icu, Wahoo, Polar, Suunto, and TrainingPeaks, and it says it does not connect to Strava. Saturday says it is not a daily calorie tracker.

• Pro: simple, focused session fuel and hydration plans.
• Pro: DIY drink recipes to keep product costs down.
• Con: Saturday says it is not a daily calorie tracker, and it does not list food logging.
• Price: $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year on the US App Store, with a free trial and no card needed.

3. Hexis: best for carb periodization detail

Hexis sets your daily fuel from training load using Carb Codes, a carb level for each meal, and Live Energy, an estimate of your energy through the day. It looks 72 hours ahead and syncs with Garmin, WHOOP, TrainingPeaks, Intervals.icu, and Apple Health. It includes food logging with barcode scanning and race-day guidance.

• Pro: detailed, meal-by-meal carb guidance that updates on its own.
• Pro: live energy estimates as you log food.
• Con: no Strava or Runna sync listed.
• Price: €24.99 a month or €129.99 a year on its athlete page.

4. Fuelin: best if you want the option of a human coach

Fuelin is an adaptive nutrition app that changes your daily macros with your workouts. It syncs with Strava, TrainingPeaks, Garmin, TriDot, Final Surge, HumanGO, V.O2, and RunDot, logs food with AI and barcode scanning, and includes a sweat rate tracker and carb capacity testing.

• Pro: works with many coaching platforms that other apps do not.
• Pro: the Copilot plan adds 1:1 messaging with a Fuelin nutrition coach and bi-weekly group coaching sessions.
• Con: no free trial.
• Price: Autopilot $29 a month or $139 a year; Copilot $99 a month or $399 a year on the US App Store.

5. Cronometer: best for accurate food tracking

Cronometer is a precise food tracker with more than 1.1 million verified foods and 95+ vitamins and minerals. It imports workouts and calories burned from Garmin, Apple Health, and others, and barcode scanning is free. It can add energy burned to your target, but it does not list fuel plans for a session or a race.

• Pro: tracks up to 95 nutrients, per its site, from a verified database.
• Con: no workout or race fuel plans listed; Gold sets macro targets by weekday, not by session.
• Price: free plan, or Gold at $10.99 a month or $59.99 a year on the US App Store.

6. MyFitnessPal: best for general calorie counting

MyFitnessPal lists more than 20 million foods, and Premium includes an AI nutrition coach. It is built around a daily calorie goal with exercise calories added back, not around training. Barcode scanning, photo logging, and voice logging are Premium features.

• Pro: a very large database, including restaurant dishes.
• Con: exercise adds calories back, but no workout or race fuel plans are listed.
• Price: free with ads, or Premium at $19.99 a month or $79.99 a year on the US App Store.

Mavr vs EatMyRide at a Glance

How to choose

• You want fuel alerts on a Garmin: stay with EatMyRide.
• You want daily targets set from your whole training week: Mavr, Hexis, or Fuelin.
• You want a human coach: Fuelin Copilot, or a registered sports dietitian.
• You want to check micronutrients: Cronometer.
• You only want to count calories: MyFitnessPal.

Some athletes pair apps: EatMyRide or Saturday on the bike, and Mavr for daily meals and race week. That works well as long as you only log your meals in one place.
