What is wrong? Incorrect amount of calories from steps.

Former Member over 7 years ago

Yesterday i burned 857 calories (kcal) from walking 3145 steps (aprox 3km). Surely that is way to many burned calories? Usually i get that many burned calories from running a 10km.
What is wrong? Is it some setting i have missed or is the algorithm botched?

Using Forerunner 645.
Thanks!

How was your heart rate yesterday during the day, compared to a normal day?

I am having a similar problem. Yesterday I did three walks First was 2.59 miles in 39:58 minutes, 15:24 pace, 289 calories and 100 avg BMP. Second was 1.88 miles, 27:14 minutes, 14:31 pace, 203 calories and 80 avg BMP. Third was 4.36 miles in 1:02:54, 14:25 pace. 137 calories, and 68 avg BMP. Then this morning I know the GPS was off as it clocked a mile way before the usual spot on the route (same route as yesterday morning), but that was 2.86 miles in 39:52, 13:57 pace, 91 calories, and 71 avg BMP. Never had this much of a variation before, seems like I'm getting ripped off calorie wise.
