Activity over midnight -> incorrect active calories count

3935125

Hi,

I was running yesterday around 23:00, at 00:04 I finished and checked my app and surprise happened. Suddenly there is a new day and my active calories are 260 and resting 10. I already know that this kind of a run should take around 400-500kcal. It looks like those calories were correctly added for the previous day, but it's impossible to get almost 300kcal in 3-4min for the next day. I am not sure how such activities on the edge of the day are treated. Could you please have a look and let me know? Could it be counted in a different time zone (but the previous day looks fine) or those calories were incorrectly created out of nowhere?

Kind regards

Dorota

    It could be a bug, but it coud be also EPOC. Hard to tell because AFAIK Garmin did not really document how they apply the increased metabolic rate due to the EPOC accumulated during an activity.

    I recommend contacting directly the Support. Although Garmin employees visit this forum occasionally, there is no guarantee they see your post.

    Hi

    I don't think it's epoc. I do that normally between 22 and midnight. If that was epoc it would happen every time after the training but it's not the case. When I used to finish my training before midnight, right after midnight I had normal numbers of calories in like 15 or something, not 300 in one minute

    I think you misunderstood what I meant. The 300 Cals are not the number of calories for the 4 minutes you exercised after the midnight. It is the EPOC generated by the whole activity. EPOC starts to burn out Calories after the activity (EPOC = Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), hence adding the calories to the day where the activity ends is the correct way to handle the afterburn.
