I want it to be sustainable and hopefully ease the niggles I've had so I can get back to serious running again. Thanks for this, I am going with MFP on the basis that, each week I'll see what I lose and if it is a bit too much too soon, I can adjust it. On the flip side, Garmin connect is taking the calories you’ve burned doing something other than resting (which will be quite a few if you’re generally active) and adding those to your mfp goal. Therefore, you’ll need to do quite a bit of activity to get an adjustment. Following mfp will be the better option there.īased on the numbers you’ve given, I’m guessing you’ve got yourself set at a fairly high activity level in mfp. This will show you how many are “resting” vs “active”.Īt the end of it all, you lose weight when you eat fewer calories than that (total burned in the day). In Garmin connect, go to health, then calories to see the calories you’ve burned (in total) for the day. You can click on the Garmin steps adjustment in your mfp diary, then click a second time to see the details of how mfp calculates your Garmin adjustment. The two numbers might be sort of kind of close if your activity level setting on mfp matches up sort of to your activity level setting on Garmin connect (which is one of 10 vs MFP’s 4?). Do not use Garmin connect’s calories in/out as a gauge of that to eat. The difference is the number that shows up on your “steps” line in your mfp diary. What mfp does is takes the total calories your Garmin says you have burned for the day (active plus resting) and subtracts out what it thinks you burned for the day (plus any workouts that have carried over). That is how it determines how many calories you are over/under. Then subtracts however many calories you have logged in mfp. Garmin connects calories in/out ads whatever your watch recorded as “active calories” to your mfp base goal (I’m thinking this is your 1560).
