How does the calorie count from my daily activities work?

Hi,

I've had my Venu SQ watch for 2 months now, all was fine. I have the Connect app and My Fitness Pal to track my activity and calories.

I'm trying to grasp the automatic calorie count from my daily activities (based on my step count).

One day where I've made 13.000 steps, the apps will say I've burned 324 calories, but another day I burn 556 calories with just 2796 steps, and the last few days it's massive amounts like 1450 calories for 10.000 steps!

How is this being calculated and is it working ok?

All apps and the watch are up to date.

Thanks!

It is not based on the steps, it is based on the difference between your immediate heart rate vs your 7 days avg. resting heart rate.

In the MyFitnessPal app, do you have the calorie adjustment feature activated? With that feature turned on, My Fitness Pal app will adjust the calorie burn based on the information the watch supplies. If you are walking in heat, this might mean a higher heart rate which leads to more calories burned.
