Cumulative Calories

General Discussion
#1

Hi.

Does anyone know why the why the cumulative calories burned differs to the totals of all your activity calories? At the moment the app is showing 141,500 calories whereas all my individual activities on the companion app total in excess of 158,000. Quite a difference and not sure which one is the most accurate.
My setup is Wattbike Atom, Wahoo HR monitor.

Thanks Phil

Neither is accurate in my opinion. There is no accurate way to measure how many calories are burned over a given time. At best it is an estimate.

Food labels can’t even get them right, on average they are 30% over/under estimated. Calorie counting is a worthless metric IMO.
