Activity calories for Walking are incorrect (they include activity calories)

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi
I have noticed, on the last couple of days, that the counting of active calories in walking section on Garmin connect web (Reports section), is incorrect.
It actually adds the running activity calories into the walking calories, so in total the running activity calories is calculated twice.
An example from today:
I have run 4km in the morning and my running calories were 304
I didn't walk too much and my walking calories are 12
So total calories for the day so far are 316

However, in the reports view on active calories graph the total active calories so far are 620, that is: 304 for running + 316 for walking (304 + 12) and this is wrong !! :mad:
counting my running calories twice, both on running and walking

I have the same problem with my swimming activity yesterday

Do you have the same problem ?

Same issue here... wasn't happening a few days ago, but now I get double counting of calories when running. GC is so flaky...

same issue here. I record runs, strength and a variety of activity types. I din't thin k the original activitiy type is the issue- it's that GC is doing some double counting period.

Interestingly, if you look at your total calorie report vs active calorie report, I think you will see that the active cals shown on the Total Cal report are correct and in line with the activity details. It's the Active Calories Report that is off.

Methinks someone should open a ticket with Garmin
