Connect app not showing total calories

I have a Garmin Venu 3S and while the individual workouts are recording the calories burnt the total for the day is much less. Having issues with recording of activities since recent update software 13.19. Tried removing device and re syncing and pressing the A button nothing working. Anyone else having an issue with total calories even if you deduct resting still ~ 200 off

  • total from activities is 586 however active calories for the day is 547! Anyone else having this issue,

  • total from activities is 586 however active calories for the day is 547!

    During each activity you burn both Active Calories as well as Resting Calories, together summing up to Total Calories of the given activity. The panels on the overview show only the Total Calories. And their sum of 586 Cal is well within the 1771 Total Calories of the day. If you want to see how many Active Calories you burned in each individual activity, open the details and review the detailed stats.

    Read about it in more details here: Calorie Terminology | Garmin Customer Support

  • Even with deduction of active / resting calories the total number for the active is not correct and lower (I have added the active from each activity from the stats)

  • I have added the active from each activity from the stats

    You can find the breakdown of how many active calories you burned for the activity here :

  • Please read the article explaining the terms. I see no error in your data. Sum of all Total Calories of your activities (586) is smaller than the daily Total Calories (1771). And I bet that if you sum the Active Calories of each individual activity, it will be also smaller than the daily Active Calories. Find the activity Active Calories on the tab Stats of each individual activity detailed screen.


  • My cross-training has a total calorie consumption of 326, but there are only 257 active calories.69 calories at rest are added.
    257+69 =326

  • 1st activity total calories 318 of which 282 active

    2nd activity total calories 227 of which active is 174

    3rd activity 1 active calorie

    4th activity total calories 40 of which active 35

    5th activity total calories 200 of which active 134

    282 + 227 + 1 + 40 + 134 =684. This is tracked activity without the active calories for example for general movement. 

  • 282 + 227 + 1 + 40 + 134 =684.

    The sum of Active Calories is 282 + 174 + 1 + 35 + 134 = 626, if your numbers are correct. You did not post the exact timestamps of those activities, and the final daily Calories. The best would be posting links to all 5 activities, and a screenshot of the Calories page.

    In the first post with the 1771 daily Total Calories, there were only the first four activities (totaling to 492 Active Calories), which would fit with a good reserve the 547 daily Active Calories at that moment. You did not post how the value changed after the 5th activity.
