Active calories and activity calories wrong

5255127 9 days ago

The past few days my calories from exercise activities has been showing higher than my active all day calories. For example my workout today burned 448 calories, but when I look at my calories in/out it says active 333. Even the Myfitnesspal app is reading the 448, but something is going on with the Garmin app.

Any assistance to correct would be appreciated.

Does the activity tell you burned 448 Active or Total Calories? There is a big difference between the two terms, since Total Calories contain both the Active and the Resting part (yes, you burn the MBR / Resting Calories 24/24).

It is under the exercise activity and says total calories

That makes sense. How do I set it back to show only the active calories.

It never showed only Active Calories. However, you can see Resting, Active, and Total Calories on the Stats overview:

Appreciated. It use to add all the exercise calories into the in/out active total. Only the last 3 days has this changed. The way the calories in/out use to display also changed 3 days ago

I do not see any change on my side. Could you post some screenshots demonstrating the issue? A screenshot of the page 4 or more days ago, and a recent one. Preferably accompanied by the Calories data from the activities on given days.
