Hi all,
Brand new Garmin user here :) Just switched to a Garmin watch this week after using Fitbit for 6 years straight.
I'm trying to import my Fitbit data (which turned out to be quite a challenge...). I finally managed to import some data, but I just noticed something weird happening to the calorie count.
I have the actual import CSV-files, so I can see the exact amount of calories on any given day, but these don't match what Garmin Connect is showing after import.
For example:
On 15 september, the imported CSV file shows:
Date | Calories Burned | Steps | Distance | Floors | Minutes Sedentary | Minutes Lightly Active | Minutes Fairly Active | Minutes Very Active | Activity Calories |
15-9-2024 | 2,015 | 8,064 | 0 | 0 | 506 | 344 | 0 | 0 | 975 |
while Garmin Connect shows:
(My language is set to Dutch, but I'm guessing you get the gist ;) )
The 1,040 "calories in rest" actually make sense, that's total calories minus activity calories (2,015 - 975 = 1,040)
But I don't have a clue how I would have burned -6,828 active calories...?
Any ideas?
