Calories

Using the edge 1040 solar it's logging approximately twice the amount of calories burned for an activity, today on a 55km (2 hour) ride it logged 3400 calories burned. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks

I thought it did this using HR data. Are your HR graphs looking ok? I know when the strap is failing I’ve seen crazy high heart rate. Not sure if it also uses power meter data. Also think it needs rider weight (bike weight also - not sure)? Is that correct?

Sorry I’ve not got a definitive answers. Just trying to think of some things to check.

Thanks for your answer, I haven't worn my HR strap because of a problem on my back for the last week or so and looking back at rides before the injury the calories were logging correctly. Thanks again

I have this problem from time to time. Usually my 1040 first syncs the activity and correct calories to Garmin Connect and then my Fenix 6 reads/syncs that activity and at this point the burned calories sometimes get doubled.
