Active calories and Training calories - should they be summed up?

Hello Community,

Now I am the lucky owner of fenix 6s and after I did my trainings I experienced that my calories from Trainings (indoor cycling with power meter and HRM Pro belt) are peacefully recorded in my watch and then transmitted to Garmin Connect.

later I see that Training calories are not included in my daily report.

See pictures attached:

1) I have 343 Active Cal I had before the training

2) I have 414 Training Cal from indoor cycling

in daily report I still have 343 in the end.

why not to sum up, if all recommendations from Garmin are in the end are based on your daily report of total activities?

p.s. I bought watch on Amazon, so can still send them back.

thank you for help in advance and merry 2020 Christmas!

The "Training Calories", contain also the "passive" part - the RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate), so they will be always higher than the Active Calories alone (that's only the energy you burn in excess of the RMR).

Thanks Trux,

You answer is far deeper than my simple question: why 343 before training) and 414 (actual training) at not summed up to a total of 757 Active Cals for my Day report?

I do not quite believe that the active Calories were 343 before and after the Indoor Cycling activity. Do you have screenshots of the Daliy Calories with timestamps before and after the Indoor Cycling session, so that we can compare them? If not, do another session (does not need to be that long), take a screenshot of the Calorie Details screen before, and after the activity (make sure to keep the time stamp at the top).

It looks all right. See my first answer in this thread (the one in the frame).
