Bmr?

Former Member over 5 years ago

hello, I noticed an overestimation of calories at rest, it gives me 2100 calories of a weight on a weight of 77 kg, when instead it should be 77x24 = 1848 approximately.
What is this overestimation due to?

Rest Calories in Garmin Connect are not the BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), but the RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate). Additionally, the value may also include the NEAT Calories (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) based on the Activtiy Class in your User Settings.
