Garmin Workout and Active Calories

MyNetDiary and PlateAI no longer creates separate records for Garmin workouts. Instead, our apps compare Total Calories calculated by Garmin with your estimated calories for weight maintenance and records the difference as Garmin Active Calories.

Garmin Active Calories is the number of calories you expended during the day beyond your Weight Maintenance Calories, which depend on your Physical Activity (PA) level.

This way provides more accurate accounting of your calories than importing workouts and daily steps into MyNetDiary or PlateAI. Importing workouts as separate records as it was done before will result in double counting of your workouts. You can see workouts that contributed to Total Calories in the notes of Garmin Active Calories record.
