Subject: Any credibility to Garmin calorie calcs? I have been using a Vivoactive for 8 months. While I trust most of the stats I have never been comfortable with the calories calculations. Case in point:
Today: 44.22 miles, 2:16:38 moving time, 19.4 mph = 999 calories
Yesterday: 50.67 miles, 2:42:31 moving time, 18.7 mph = 3573 calories
At least one of those is wildly inaccurate, if not both. I have never worried too much about this but I would like to drop about seven pounds before my first IM in Dec so I have started paying attention to calories in and out.
Anyone know of an activity calorie counter that seems reasonably accurate?
