High Active calories?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hello,

So yesterday I had a lazy day, I sat at my computer all day. I did ten minutes of gardening and the sat down on the sofa to watch TV. My active calories register as 683 which seems excessively high as I am essentially at rest.

Day before I had a similar day and this logged 768.

Are these accurate? They are adding to the amount of calories I can consume in a day and I believe that this would push the calories higher than maintenance.

Anyone got any suggestions? Is this reasonable to give Maintenance levels?

Look at your Garmin Connect and see what your heart rate was during the day and see if it compares to your active calorie burn.

Hi, I have the same problem. I had 3000 steps counted as 900 kcal (not during an activity). Tried rebooting, but did not help.

Did anyone find a solution how to fix it?

Roller skating can help you lose weight. It elevates your heart rate and burns calories, ranging from 330 to 600 per hour, depending on your weight and the intensity of your roller skating. This makes it an excellent method for losing weight.
