Hi, can someone please explain to me why Active Calories in Garmin Connect don't match the calories burned during activities using a HRM. To explain - today the only exercise I've done is a 30min walk with a HRM. The activity is coming up in Garmin Connect and say that I burned 133 calories, but under the Calories In/Calories Out section in Garmin Connect it says my Active Calories are 243. I just spent 20 minutes on the phone to one of your consultants but she had no idea what she was talking about! I've only had this device a few days and I'm a bit concerned about it's accuracy in determining calorie burn and how it is handling/reporting data, also with your tech support.
I know it says that Active = Total Calories - BMR Calories. But where is the BMR calories coming from?
Also, why are the calories left in GC so different (200) than the calories left in MFP?? I soo would be grateful if someone could explain how this all works.
Thanks,
Leisa
