Can Trackers log all exercise instead of losing it to "resting" calories discrepancy? Topic

Dewi 01/18/22
Because MyNetDiary estimates my Weight Management Calories differently to Garmin's Resting Calories, my first 566 calories of exercise are not recorded each day.

If I record 2076 active calories in one day, MyNetDiary logs 1510 calories.
If I spread the exact same activity over 4 days, MyNetDiary logs 0 calories.

I am aware of the rationale for calculating it this way, but this doesn't reflect reality, and I am finding it very demotivating to be penalized for more regular exercise.

Is there something we can configure to solve this discrepancy? I would be happy to lower the WMC below "Sedentary" (which would make sense since MyNetDiary is claiming I do less a lot of the time), or have days with sub-"Sedentary" activity record "negative" activity calories, or raise Garmin's RMR, but I haven't found any way to configure these.

Thanks Joanna.

I have been corresponding with Valerie and Sergey about it, and they have been helping me.

I have good news - I have just realized the Weekly Analysis appears to be unaffected by these discrepancies! The section "Your Totals" has a direct comparison of calories eaten against Garmin's totals, which is exactly what I want.

I was already looking at this screen regularly, so I feel a lot more reassured now that my overall monitoring isn't being swayed too much by resting calorie estimate complications.
