Could you build this?
No Building an endurance sports nutrition app focused on gut training and race fueling requires deep, specialized sports science and clinical nutrition expertise to avoid athlete illness or severe GI distress.
What it would actually take: The system would require a mobile client (Swift/Flutter) integrated with health APIs (Apple HealthKit, Garmin Health) to ingest workout duration, intensity, and heart rate zones. The hard part is the underlying physiological calculation engine that plans carbohydrate intake (e.g., scaling from 60g/hr to 90-120g/hr) and gut-adaptation protocols tailored to individual gastrointestinal tolerance. This requires verified sports dietetics datasets and clinical nutrition domain experts to design safe, evidence-based fueling algorithms.
Discussion
2 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: % gain is self-reported with selection bias from survey respondents, Results may reflect users who already lacked serious nutrition discipline
Feature requests: Better tracking methodology for performance gains (controlled before/after), Clearer explanation or guidance on gut training process
