Active Calories Don't Add Up

Former Member over 9 years ago

Curious if this is a FR 235 issue or Garmin Connect issue.

I'll go for a run, sync, and no matter what - the calories burned on the run won't add up in Garmin Connect.

This is what I mean: http://i.imgur.com/rZjT3e0.jpg

Run equals 652 calories, but I have 531 active calories for the day..? How does that work? Any one else experience this issue?

Do you use My fitness pal with a negative calorie enablement? it's the only reason I can think of, maybe if you done your run first thing in the morning?
It may take a wee bit of activity through the day for you to get full calorie adjustment. Not 100% sure though as I'm always having issues.

Also Garmin connect is known to have certain bugs in it related to activity and calories burned. Apparently their "working on it"

I just gave up on assuming the folks at Garmin can perform basic math. For me it's a waiting game to see if someone else can produce a device with the purported features of the 235.

BTW, I'm having the exact same issue today. Early morning 3 miles: 312. Late morning 5: 516. Walked about a mile in daily steps: 0?
312+516+0 = 793!!!

No negative adjustments here :( It seems it's just syncing oddly.

Add it to the list of things not working.

Number of activity's arent correct either heck it even shows me doing activity's in days i didnt have a activity and randomly removes others.

This only happens when you set it to certain periods like week month or 6/12months.
some work some dont...
