Active Calories

Hi from Sweden

I dont know You, just trying to help:)
Coming from Fitbit, it was easier to understand. Now with Garmin more difficult to understand how it works. I have done 416 steps and have been given 34 active calories (about half compared to You) and this is with my 1 week old garmin fenix 5X. I think if I am stressed it will give me higher active calories. If I look at Your picture I think You are a lightweight girl that only needs 1500 calories. You seem to be much more active than me with 427 intensity minutes, I only have 56 intensity minutes but if You are that much active how can it be that your step goals is only 3320 a day? My step goal is 10000 and on average I do 12000 steps a day. Maybe You are doing a lot of biking and walking very little or similar? Do You have a stress widget on Your watch, maybe You have high stress levels (maybe to much training and to little recovery) and the watch are thinking You are training when You are not and giving You high intensity minutes?. How the stress widget works https://www.firstbeat.com/en/consumer-feature/all-day-stress-recovery/ Maybe it is something wrong with software och hardware, just trying to help. The stress widget is very good. Sleep is very important and relaxing to recover from activities, if not it can give higher stress. A lot of people eat to little and crash their metabolism, like 1200 calories a day and that could give higher stress. I am 49 years old and do not train so much and consume about 2500-3000 calories a day and have six pack. I do track my calories and weight every day:)

jpfrost, is your watch also showing the high calorie count? If yes, it is not a Connect issue, but a watch issue.

Did you have any logged activities during the day which could have added to the calorie count without the watch counting steps?

My watch is very close to the 300 kcal per 10000 steps, both yesterday and so far today.
