Non exercise active calories not being tracked

The calories earned by being active during the day which are not part of an exercise activity are not being added to your daily calorie allotment. They show up in my Garmin Connect app but not the Myfitnesspal app. Please fix.

They do show up for me. Are you sure you have fully synced Garmin with MFP? If I have a very active day (workout exercise) I get a calorie adjustment and my calorie goal increases.

Have you perhaps selected a high level of activity on MFP? Then there is a bigger level of activity you need to reach before you get positive adjustments.

Yes, all other exercise activities are syncing OK between the apps. Yesterday was a complete rest day for me so there were no exercise activities logged. There was about 120 calories showing in the Garmin app which did not show up in MFP.

With 120 active calories you could perhaps still be below MFP's sedentary: sedentary includes a basic level of activity, it's not fully inactive.

PS: you need to tap on the calorie adjustment line in your diary, in that scheen tap on the line worth the number and then you should see how the number is calculated. It should show your total calories burned according to gain - you can cross-check this with total calories burned in Garmin Connect.









In my screenshots you see the same number 1414 on both sides, which means the sync is correct.
