100m ride but only expended 6 calories.....?!?

Former Member over 5 years ago

First time out with 1030 plus. Battery life great and all worked to plan. Summary of ride all looks good incl HR zones etc but just gives calories as a bizarre single number 6???

100miles, 2230m climbing, 7 hrs on the bike. All the metrics in my profile are correct. Am I doing something wrong? I appreciate calories are a bit hot and miss at the best of times (particularly without power meters) but 6?? Even an estimate would be 300/hour wouldn't it?

Thx

Could you post the FIT activity file?

Thanks. I assume I've done something stupid. I've moved from Wahoo for the better audax battery life of the 1030 plus so a bit new to Garmins.

It started off by using speed and then switched to using HR data for calories.

It looks like you don't have a value for resting HR. Try setting that and see if it it fixes the issue.

Make sure you filled your profile with weight, max HR, rest HR, fitness and all the rest. Also if you wear a HRM this should greatly improve your calories estimate.
