Hi I have just started using a Garmin 64S with a Mio Link (for heart rate). When I upload details to Garmin Connect after exercise the calories burned figure is shown as zero. Any advice on what I need to do to get calories displayed? Thanks.
Is there a "Calorie" field on your device? If not your 64S probably doesn't figure Calories. Garmin Connect does not figure Calories either. It only uses the total reported by the device.
In Garmin Connect you can do a full edit and change it and other info for each and every activity. I don't use GC anymore, but it used to be an icon that looked like a pencil.
If you Google "calorie calculator heart rate" , you get a bunch of them. However I've not used them. Calorie burns are just estimates, so don't expect any of them to be accurate. The data necessary to make them accurate is not available outside laboratory settings.
Thanks, perhaps someone who uses a calorie calculator regularly could recommend one that they trust as being reasonably accurate (given the vagueness of the science)?
