Garmin Resting Calories

Former Member over 9 years ago

My resting calories have seemed to change over the past week or so.
Currently, my garmin is showing that I am burning 1404 resting calories daily.
Prior to the 7th May, I was burning 1684 resting calories daily.
Does anyone know why this change would have occurred?
Thank you! :)

Did you recently update the firmware on your device? Garmin has changed how they calculate resting calories and this has led to some problems, especially when it comes to syncing with Myfitnesspal. There have been several threads discussing this and it looks like this new way results in a way too low calorie value being passed to MFP. Here is the most recent discussion of this: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?349724-Sudden-decrease-in-quot-resting-calories-quot.
