What does Garmin have against "active calories"?

Can anyone explain why Garmin makes it so difficult to view active calories? I like to track it as a measure of overall activity. Yet I can't put it on my In Focus or view it on my watch. WTF. Is this to try to get me to use and link My Fitness Pal? 

  • Oof that is bananas... I don't use MyFitnessPal and have no desire to, and am annoyed that Garmin seems to prioritize a full calories in/out metric using MFP OVER simply showing me my daily active calories. Interesting you found a workaround but I'm not sure I'm willing to sign up for MFP just to see if that works for me too...

  • Make sure that MFP isn't connected. Check even if you are absolutely sure you ain't. 

    If you don't see MFP then send a bug report to Garmin Connect and wait for the fix.
