VA3 double counts calories?

I have noticed that when I run, it counts towards my daily step count. This is fine to me but I think Garmin is double counting the calories since it gives me credit for both calories burned while running and the steps (when the majority of the steps were made while running). Anybody else have this issue? Attached pics show active calories are 411, with 278 of it from jogging. So the rest are from steps. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1270088.png ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1270089.png

I might be wrong but, Garmin calculates calories based on HR. What goes to MFP are calories burned during an activity.

I have the same issue after a reset. However, I checked my activity class and it remained at 7, which is where I had it set before the reset.
