hi guys

just got my garmin today.

so I did a 3.38 mile cycle this morning. and it shows in my activities.

now I only did 3k steps and im getting this information on the dashboard and ive attached a screenshot

now its showing that Ive walked 4.9 miles - thats impossible with only 3120 steps and i know ive not walked that distance.

now those calories are not pulling into myfitnesspal which im happy about - only the active minutes from my cycle (although those calories do seems high also, but ill worry about that later)

any ideas or im a just being a total noob and its something I dont understand?

The distance shows total distance for all activities during that day, and that includes your cycling activity.

Aha okay that would make sense.

its said I’ve burned 1500 calories though - so 658 from cycling that would mean 900+ from the walking which seems high still?

I never paid attention to how calories work in garmin connect, but I think the calorie count includes resting calories as well.
