7 day summary - average calories calculation

Hopefully someone can shed some light on if this is a setting I've missed. Note that I'm using a 910xt, so I am only capturing calories during a recorded activity, not throughout the day.

The last 7 days calories average looks to calculate based on the number of days where an activity has been done, not on the entire 7 days. eg. I've only done 2 activities (on different days)in the last week. The average daily calories displays as 660. The total calories from the 2 activites is 1320.

I would expect the average daily calories to be 1320/7 = 188. Instead Garmin appears to say, 1320/2 (days of activity) = 660, and not factor in the 5 days of inactivity.

Any idea if this is by design, a setting that I've missed configuring, or something else I haven't considered?

Frankly told, it makes more sense to me to count ony the days when the measurment was actually done, than spreading it to all 7 days.

Edit: If you really need the average for all 7 days, just add a dummy manual activity with 1 kcal to every of the 5 resting days (You could try it with 0 kcal too, but am not sure whether it would work)
