Calories

I've had my Vivoactive 4s for about 2 weeks now.  I am confused as to the calorie counting.  Today, I did 14,928 steps on the step detail screen it says 2323 calories.  Is that the amount of calories I have used or burned taking that many steps?  It seems high, yet the step calories are always way higher than my workout calories.  I also did a 30 min elliptical training at an average heart rate of 145BPM.  That showed as using 378 Calories.  I'm wondering if the step calories are correct or am I mis-understanding all of this.  The other issue I have is that the calories for my workouts carry over to the my fitness pal app when I track my food but it doesn't carry over any calories for the daily activity and steps I take.  Is there a setting or something I missed, or do the daily step calories not get carried over.  Any help would understanding would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    If it is the screen after exiting the activity (The normal one we see all the time) It would be your base calories(Amount your body burns doing nothing) + your active calories (Amount body burns doing something)

    You should be able to toggle the daily steps over as my myfitnesspal will import activities and the steps I have done. I would suggest checking the settings.

  • As previously stated , the total calories includes the ones (the majority of your calories ) that are burned without doing any exercise.  The extra is hats burned doing exercise so it sound correct
