Manual Activity without Calories

Former Member over 9 years ago

I am trying to add manual activities to my calendar including an exercise DVD and yoga. When I put in the date, time, activity, and category the calories are automatically set at "0" and it won't allow me to save my entry with this value.

I don't know how many calories I burned nor am I interested in including calories. I just want to log the activity on my calendar. Is there a way to do this without inputting calories???

I have a similar problem when adding manual activities but instead of 0, Garmin Connect inserts a value that it thinks is appropriate. Deleting the number and then saving doesn't get rid of it as GC simply records it anyway. However, if I then open the activity in edit mode (pencil icon) and delete the calorie value and then save, it works as expected. A clumsy work round but it does the job!

Thank you! When I was trying to input "other" activity for yoga it was coming up with 0 but "strength training" for my DVD was inputting automatic calories. Your work around was effective though so now running is my only activity with calories as I'd like it to be. Thanks again!
