Nutrition info wildly inaccurate

Yoder

I signed up for connect+ for the nutrition tracking but it's a little wacky. 

My base calories are around 2050 per day. 

I burned around 1k calories today for a run and strength session and it now shows 4620 calories allowed for the day lol

Oh and my protein jumped from 160g to 347g needed for the day lol

It was accurate the first few days I used it but now it's not accurate unless I don't do any exercise for the day. 

Per usual a great idea but horrible execution.

    Another example of this was yesterday. I did zero exercise all day and my daily caloric need jumped from around 2k to over 3k. My protein need should have stayed at around 160g but it jumped to 233g needed. 

    The daily caloric need also doesn't adjust. I've lost almost 1lb since last week and the caloric need has actually jumped up by 12 calories. As you lose weight your daily caloric need should decrease to keep the weight loss going, it shouldn't increase unless you want to maintain your weight. My settings are to lose weight, not maintain weight. 

    These should be easy things to fix. MyFitnesspal now says my caloric need is less than before which is correct. If garmin wants to compete with mfp and other tools these numbers have got to be accurate. 

    If people follow the guidelines in garmin nutrition they won't lose weight because the numbers aren't calculated correctly.

    It'd be nice if garmin would respond. Today it says that i have a baseline of over 3k calories and 233g protein lol. I don't know where garmin is coming up with these numbers. If people blindly follow these numbers they will gain weight. You can't market a product with these types of inaccuracies.
