Importing. Fit file double calories.

Former Member

Possibly a daft question but here goes!

I have a Fenix 6 sapphire which I wear whilst I use my turbo trainer. I don't set the Garmin to record indoor bike or anything and just refer to my heart rate whilst exercising

The turbo trainer gives me a. fit file giving me power, speed, cadence, calories and route which I upload via Garmin connect. 

Am I right in assuming that this will effectively be twice the calories on my daily count. One for what the Fenix recorded via HR whilst exercising and one from the fit file and is there any way to Birthdayseparate this or stop it from happening  before I consume more cake than I'm allowed?!

    Since Garmin devices calculate the Calories on the basis of the measured HR (and HR Variability), it is comprehensible you get the Calories twice. Edit the Activity imported from your turbo trainer and set the Calories to 0.
