How calories are count?

Julia Bell over 1 year ago

I had 75 burned calories from steps.

Went for a walk and tracker the activity, which showed 192 calories burned.

Garmin showing in total 204 calories burned. Shouldn't it be 192+75=267 in total?

During an activity you burn both Active Calories and Resting Calories. Resting Calories are burned 24/24. So if you burned 192 total Calories during the walk, only part of it were Active Calories. Look at the exact numbers of Total, Active, and Resting Calories during the activity on the Stats tab of the concerned activity.

Steps have no direct relation to Calories. As long as your watch has a heart-rate sensor, Calories are calculated using the HR, not steps.
