Is there a way to get calorie estimates out of Garmin Connect that does not involve MyFitnessPal?
I was very disappointed to find out that Garmin appears to gate their calorie estimates behind a clumsy, ad-ridden third party piece of app-trash, but I put up with it because it wasn't too terribly difficult to make work. That changed when MyFitnessPal started to randomly inject full-screen ads into my calorie logging workflow in a clear attempt to get me to accidentally sign up for their premium service. This is too much. I'm going back to sticky notes and tally marks, which are a much better experience.
Ideally, I would like to still have excess-calorie-burned estimates from Garmin Connect, even if I have to manually tally them. Is there a way to do that? Currently they show up both in the Garmin app and in MyFitnessPal, but they didn't show up before I installed MyFitnessPal and I am 90% sure they will go away once I uninstall it.
I want to make it completely clear: it is not a deal breaker if the answer is "no." I'll do it all myself if I need to. MyFitnessPal is *that bad*. Still, if Garmin is willing to do *anything* for me outside of MyFitnessPal, I'd like to make sure I take advantage of it.
Thanks!
