Calories bug?

Marko Marić

Hi everyone!
Can you please help me figure out if I don’t understand something or there is a bug in calories count?
I just did a walk, and the walk says 510 kcal, but at the same time, daily calories are 370.
Thanks in advance!

Any idea anyone? I cannot send photo

@Marko-Marić i do not have a link to documentation, but I think it was answered few times in this forum. Daily calories shows only active calories and the calories from the excersize shows both active and passive calories (calories that body burns over time by existing).

Thanks for the explanation, @aiv4r, that makes more sense now. So basically, the workout includes both the baseline (passive) and active calories, while the daily total only tracks the active part? That would explain the lower number under daily calories. It would be helpful if Suunto made that a bit clearer in the app.

if I remember well, the calories burned during an activity are not summed to the daily ones, which are computed from the steps only

@Stefano-M64 thank for reply everyone. For me, it kind of doesnt make sense that daily active calories are only from steps. So total daily should be base+cal from steps+activity cal?
So, if I for example cannot walk that much one day, but I swim 5 km, my daily active calories goal is not met?

@Marko-Marić the watch and the app of course shows the total calories.
In my watch the total calories is always higher that the sum of activity calories.
Maybe it needs some minutes to update after the activity?

no, I was wrong, the activity calories are correctly summed to the others
