Hi,
I'm hijacked someone else's question but figured I needed to ask my own.
I'm wondering why it appears that calories aren't being counted when doing things throughout the day? Today, for example, my morning looked like this:
- 30 minute Treadmill walk logged as 'Treadmill' activity at a 6km/h pace = 119 kcal
- 10-15 minutes of weight-lifting prior to commencing HIIT Tracker activity = 0 (based on Calories section of Garmin Connect App)
- 50 minutes of weight-lifting logged as HIIT Tracker activity = 443 kcal
- 30 minute treadmill walk logged as 'Treadmill' activity at a 6.5km/h pace = 229 kcal
Why did my Garmin Fenix 6S Sapphire not log any calories burnt for the 10-15 minutes before I remembered to start the Strength activity? I know that my heart rate was elevated because I can see that tracked in the Connect app.
Furthermore, when doing the same weight-lifting workout and fully logging it, I routinely range from 500-700 kcals, so it's evident that there are calories being missed and not counted by the watch.
I have the MoveIQ or whatever it is enabled, and I don't believe that this is related to Active/Activity/BMR. The reason I believe this is the case, is when the data is imported into Cronometer, I see this:
- Treadmill running (Garmin) - 199.0 kcal
- Treadmill running (Garmin) - 229 kcal
- Indoor cardio (Garmin) - 443.0 kcal
- Daily activity (Garmin) - 0 kcal
So Garmin is logging that daily activity is occurring because there's total time shown for each entry above, but is showing that no calories have been burnt for it? What's happening here?
Cheers.
