About me

My Name is Florian Zahn – also known online as The Real Karle – and I am building Fuel Lens because I want to understand my own data better.

I am an competetiv 800-metre runner at TV Konstanz, and I also enjoy road cycling. For me, training is not only about kilometres and times, but also about energy, recovery, and that ultimatly leads to optimising nutrition.

Why Fuel Lens?

To perform better in training, I started tracking my nutrition with Cronometer. What always bothered me was that, although I could record detailed data, it was difficult to analyse that data over longer periods of time (At least with the free version).

At first, I manually took screenshots of my data every week. That quickly became tedious and made it difficult to perform meaningful long-term analyses. So I decided to build Fuel Lens: a tool that lets me perform the analyses I had been looking for using the detailed data provided by Cronometer.

Later, MyFitnessPal and FatSecret were added as additional data sources. This means that Fuel Lens can now be used not only with my own data, but also by friends and family.

If you find a bug or would like to see a feature, feel free to message me on Instagram.
