My calorie burn counter has to be wrong. When I get up in the morning it typically reads the equivalent of 100 calories per hour burn during the night. As the day progresses if I do no workouts I end up with with around 2200 calorie burn for the day. While I'm not overly active at work, I have to be burning more than sleeping. It basically doesn't seem to give any credit for activities around the house or yard even when I know my heart rate has been elevated. I've owned numerous Fitbits all of which consistently measured around 2400 calorie burn per day for a day of basically no activity. Highly active days around the house per Fitbit could easily hit 3000+ burn vs the 2200 on the Garmin. The Garmin measures an hour vigorous walk burn at about 535-560ish whereas on the Fitbits always rated around 600 cal burn for the same route and time. The Garmin shows about 800 cal per hour on my bike rides which is fairly similar to the Fitbit rates. I get it that there can be some +/- variation between the two brands but the burn calc of normal day to day activity simply can't be right on the Garmin. Is there a setting or procedure I am missing somewhere? btw. 6'4' 225lb male age 50s
