Changed kalori calculations?

I bike with a power meter and suddenly my Edge 830 seems to have changed the way it calculated calories (Kcal).

Any one else faced this problem?

How can I reset it? It seems to be at least 10 % higher than all other derives synced to the same power meter.

    It is already an old "feature" (since many months, i dont know exactly which main fw introduced), the Garmin adds the metabolic kcal to the net work so the kcal is now always higher than the kj from powermeter (in the past it was 1:1). So now if You ride 2hs 300watt avg, that is 2160kj but a normal person metabolic energy exp is ~2000kcal per 24hs, so for 2hs it is ~170kcal, so the Garmin Calorie value will be 2160+170=2330kcal (with 150w avg it has much more difference, 1080+170= 1250kcal vs 1080kj, ~16%)
