Mavr Sports Nutrition Team
October 2, 2026. 11 min read.
A Hyrox race is eight 1 km runs, each followed by a workout station: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. Training for it means heavy gym days, running days and full race simulations in the same week. That makes food harder to plan than for a runner or a lifter alone.
We compared six apps Hyrox athletes tend to use: two general food trackers, one training app with meal plans, two endurance fueling apps, and Mavr. Mavr publishes this article, so we also say where the others are better. All prices were checked on each company’s own site or App Store listing in October 2026.

For a sense of scale, the joint position statement from the American College of Sports Medicine suggests about 5 to 7 g of carbs per kg of body weight a day for moderate training of about an hour a day, and 6 to 10 g per kg for 1 to 3 hours a day. The International Society of Sports Nutrition suggests 1.4 to 2.0 g of protein per kg a day for most people who train. A good Hyrox app should move you around inside those ranges as your week changes.
Hyrox is a supported sport in Mavr. It reads your lifting, running and sim sessions from Apple Health (including Garmin, Coros and WHOOP), Strava or TrainingPeaks, and sets carbs, protein, calories and hydration for each one. Strength sessions count as training, not walks, and anything labelled Hyrox is treated as a hybrid session. Protein is held at 1.8 to 2.2 g per kg so you keep muscle while the running grows.
For race day, Mavr spots the race on your calendar and builds a light carb-load, race-morning meal timing, a pre-start top-up and in-race carbs anchored to the eight stations, sized to your division (Open, Pro, Doubles or Relay) and target finish. It also gives fluid and sodium guidance that scales with heat, which matters in warm indoor venues. You can log meals by photo or voice and ask Kai, the AI coach, what to eat before a sim. There is also a free Hyrox nutrition calculator on the Mavr website.
MacroFactor is a macro tracker that tracks changes in your energy expenditure and adjusts your calorie and macro targets in weekly check-ins, like a nutrition coach would. It has a verified food database and fast logging with barcode scan. It costs $11.99 a month, $47.99 for six months or $71.99 a year on the US App Store, with a 7-day trial.
MyFitnessPal is the best-known food tracker. The free version covers food, weight and exercise tracking. Premium adds barcode and meal scan, voice logging, custom macro goals and no ads. The US App Store lists Premium at $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and also lists Premium price points of $19.99 a month and $79.99 a year, so check the price in the app. First-time Premium users get a 7-day free trial.
Centr is a fitness app and an official Hyrox online training partner. Its App Store listing includes an official Hyrox-certified programme that builds power and endurance for race day in 12 weeks, plus meal plans tailored to your food preferences, with plant-based and high-protein options. Standard plans are $29.99 a month, $59.99 for three months or $119.99 a year on the US App Store, with a 7-day free trial.
Fuelin is an adaptive nutrition app for active people, including gym training, and it has a Hyrox page on its website. It sets daily macros from your training, suggests meals and recipes, offers AI food logging, and gives fuel and fluid guidance for workouts. It syncs with Strava, TrainingPeaks, Garmin and several coaching platforms. Autopilot costs $29 a month or $139 a year. Copilot, at $99 a month or $399 a year, adds 1:1 messaging with a Fuelin nutrition coach and live sessions every two weeks.
Hexis gives each meal a colour code based on the training you just did and the training coming next, across a 72-hour window. It has detailed food logging with barcode scan, and syncs with Garmin, WHOOP, TrainingPeaks, Intervals.icu and Apple Health. It costs €24.99 a month or €129.99 a year on its website. We did not find a Hyrox-specific page, so it treats Hyrox like other training.
If you have a medical condition, food allergies, stomach problems you cannot fix, a history of disordered eating, or signs of low energy availability such as missed periods or frequent injuries, see a registered sports dietitian. An app can help between appointments, but it should not replace one.
For most Hyrox athletes on iPhone, Mavr is the best fit, because it follows a hybrid week session by session and plans race day around the eight stations. If your main goal this block is losing or gaining weight, MacroFactor does that job best. If you want a Hyrox training plan and meal plans in one place, Centr is worth a look. If you want a human coach, choose Fuelin Copilot. If you just want to count food for free, MyFitnessPal is fine.
Mavr is the best fit if you want targets that change with each lift, run and sim session plus a Hyrox race-day plan. MacroFactor is best for weight change, Centr for official Hyrox training with meal plans, and Fuelin if you want a human coach.
It is good for logging food, and the free version is enough for many people. But it gives one daily target that does not change between a heavy sled day and a rest day, and it does not plan race-day fueling.
Not that we found. Centr is an official Hyrox online training partner with a Hyrox-certified programme and meal plans in its app. Other partners such as Runna focus on training.
The International Society of Sports Nutrition suggests 1.4 to 2.0 g per kg of body weight a day for most people who train. Mavr holds Hyrox athletes at 1.8 to 2.2 g per kg to protect strength while running volume rises.
MyFitnessPal is free to start. Of the paid plans, MyFitnessPal Premium ($49.99 a year), Mavr Pro ($79.99 a year, about $1.54 a week) and MacroFactor ($71.99 a year) cost the least per year. Prices checked October 2026 on the US App Store.
Mavr builds a Hyrox race-day plan with a light carb-load, breakfast timing, a pre-start top-up and in-race carbs around the eight stations. Mavr also has a free Hyrox nutrition calculator on its website.
General guidance for healthy adults, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor or registered dietitian if you have a health condition, take medicines or have special dietary needs.
Try Mavr free and let your lifting, running and sim sessions set your daily fuel and your Hyrox race plan.
