Datafield "active calories"

Garmin, please add a datafield showing only activity calories

  • There is a field. 

    It is the work you do - > expressed in kJ or kilo joule.

    This can be converted to kcal, but it is not the same as your body activity calories. It is the work you do. 

    If you want activity calories you must multiply the work you do with approximately a factor of 4.

    Then you will get an approximation of the activity calories you spend.

    This value depends on a lot of factors, your weight, height and your body's efficiency.

    I tried to get this corrected some 2 years ago but they only added an adjusted work metric from the old one. 

  • In Forerunner 955 is available datafield "active calories". So i don't understand why Edge1040 does not have this :/
