Viewing Calorie Data in Garmin Connect

Calorie information can be viewed from the Garmin Connect™ platform under multiple different classifications, the primary examples being active calories, resting calories, and activity calories. For more information on the differences between the different classifications of calories and when they are recorded see: Calorie Terminology

NOTE: Calorie burn calculation for a manual activity is based on a speed or pace range and will not be as accurate compared to recording an activity on a Garmin® device. For example, two manual activities with the same distance and time but a different pace or speed may show the same calorie burn if the speed or pace of the activity is within the same range scale as defined by Garmin.
