Garmin Connect Calories

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I have a garmin forerunner 10 that I use for cycling (I know it doesn't have a bike mode). So I upload the data to garmin connect and edit the running event to road cycling. How come the calories don't change? For example, if it says I burned 800 calories on a run, I edit the run to a bike ride and the calories don' change. I've used various tools online and all of them say the calories should go down on a bike ride. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Pat

I just guessing that Garmin Connect doesn't recalculate the Calorie burn and just uses whatever your device says. However you can change it yourself if you do a 'full edit' on your activity.
