Hi, just wondering if anyone is using a Garmin tracker for weight loss and can help me with a technical question. In the connect app I can see my goal calories, active, adjusted goal and consumed. But not my resting calorie burn. On my watch screen I can see active and resting calories. Does anyone know how i can get it to display resting calories in the app please? I am linked to my fitness pal for recording calories consumed.

Thanks.

Like this? Or just resting on its own? Your “resting “calories is auto calculated based on your weight/height etc like a tree calculator, it’s the same every day. Mine is always 1665 resting plus whatever active on top

Mine dosent show that, maybe because I am linked to the fitbit app for calorie counting. (i cant work out how to attach a picture) but the circle shows 'remaining' calories and the details has a goal (estimated by fitbit rather than Garmin i think) active, adjusted goal (with active added to goal) and consumed.

I like your total of active and resting better. Though I suppose if the resting is always the same and based on your tdee I may be able to find a way to put that into fitbit and say i am trying to maintain.

I can’t work out what it is you’re trying to see. I used nutracheck for tracking and it gets info from Garmin, but Garmin doesn’t pull from nutracheck (eg calories in). This is just the standard screen on Garmin connect though. Does your app need an update?

I figured out how to show my app. It gives me a countdown based on titbits target calories it thinks I should be eating. I'd rather garmins estimate of what I use if that makes sense.

Ah I see, can you disconnect your Fitbit and see if that works? Then reinstall?

Also, what I showed in my image comes from the ‘calories burned’ tile not from calories in/out. Can you edit the ‘at a glance’ options?
