Garmin Connect vs MFP calorie adjustment for walking

leica0000

Does anyone else find that manually adding walking to MFP seems to give them a larger calorie adjustment than syncing up with Garmin Connect?

Also I don't get the Garmin calorie adjustment in the MyFitnessPal exercise diary, it's tiny compared to active calorie subtraction I actually see in Garmin Connect.

I'm assuming mfp subtract calories from the garmin calories as calories you would have burned doing nothing.
Mfp does seem to give a more generous amount for walking than garmin just lately, so i always where my hrm when walking dogs, i still get lower but would rather go with the garmin.
I did try walking dogs last week on a few occasions without the hrm and for a 1.6 mile walk 2.5mph uneven surface with some inclines, 4.5k steps it gave me just 70 calories.
