Active calories

hi

anyone else with this problem

my active calories is ok but if i start a training my active calories is not saved in history. If i go too that day calories is fine. Daily averge is wrong becuse of that. My english is not so good. Hope you understand what i meen. See pictures ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1311304.png ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1311305.png
  • I have not looked much into how the Garmin Connect app shows calories, but I have seen several strange things in the Garmin Connect web site:
    • Calories from Walk activities are not included in the Active Calories report. But they are included as Active Calories in the Total Calories report.
    • Calories from Daily Steps are shown as "Walking" in the Active Calories report.
    • Calories from Daily Steps are excluded from Activity tab in Daily Summary. (This behaviour has changed twice during the last 1-2 months.)
    • Sometimes, when you look at your active calories from the day before, they are lower than what was originally shown in the same report.
    • If the total calories from logged activities exceed the calories from the activity tracker, the total active calories for the day will be capped in some views and not in others.
    So I think that Garmin have huge problems agreeing internally on the exact method for summing up active calories. It doesn't make it better that they are obviously confused about calories from Walk activities and calories from Daily Steps in the activity tracker.
  • Exactly. You are right. Garmin have a lot of problems with calories. I registred a new account and i dont have the sam problem. Mayby it is something with my fitnesspal?
  • I was wrong. Started one activity on new account. Everthing fine. Started a second activity calories wrong again. Did not use fitnespal on this account
