How to display Calories (Active + Resting) in My Day and NOT Calories In/Out?

Hello, I just got my VA 3 and I connected it with MFP for the Calories In/Out calculations. However, I decided I do not want to use this and I prefer to see my Active and Resting Calories in My Day instead (just as I did in My Day BEFORE I connected with MFP). I disconnected the syncing between Garmin Connect and Mfp but I still do not see the Calories option in My Day, still only Calories In/Out. Editing My Day does not seem to help. What can I do here?, or will it take a day before the changes are visible?
I already uninstalled MFP and GCM and reinstalled both, still the same issue. Garmin chat support did not seem able to help but they also did not know you can sync up with MFP..

Thank you!

I just tried this and it did revert to resting and active after I synced.

I went to the 3 dots (more) on my iPhone, then Settings, then partner apps and disconnected MyFitnessPal that way.

After that I…

Reinstalling GC App did the trick for me.

Revoke that. I still have the Calories In/Out in "My Day". Not sure why I thought it was correct after reinstalling.

I have this same issue and don’t know how to fix it. Did you find a way?

You have to disconnect MyFitnessPal from Garmin connect. Then you'll get a report of the calories burned instead of the In/Out calories that you have entered in MyFitnessPal.

I’ve tried that, the two are no longer connected but it still shows calories remaining (which 2000+ as it’s now not getting the feed from MFP with the calories consumed) instead of total calories burnt. I don’t know how to get the calorie count back.

After that I synced and now am showing the original resting and active calories.

I am having this issue now and it is driving me nut. I disconnected MFP and GC and I am still seeing Calories In/Out. I want to see the original resting and active calories. No one seems to know how to fix this.

I would delete the MFP app, re-sync then check GC (should be back to normal), then re-install it. Your days should be saved in MFP as long as you are logged in when using the app which I “think” by default you have to be.

I disconnected MFP from GC, deleted the GC app, re-installed and that worked for me.

Yes, this did it for me as well. Frustrating that these 2 apps have such poor interactivity: it shouldn't be that difficult for each to update when the other does via syncing.
