Activity Manager/ Display giving different calorie burns

MichelleRenee13

Ok....I didn't have my display on all day. I put in on this evening after 3 hours of shopping. Display is telling me 1655 burned and when I sync to the computer, it is telling me 1860. Which number am I supposed to go by? I take my cut based on predicted calorie burn for that day.

The site says there could be slight differences...but over 200 calories?

Go by the synced burn data. The display isn't a total crunching of numbers. It is more like an estimate. The more accurate number comes after syncing.

I notice there is a difference sometimes with syncing, but it isn't usually by many calories. (But I also don't go all day before syncing either.)

I'd go w the sync too.

Yes, definitely the synced data. Keep in mind if you had any "off body" time and logged what you did, the computer data will reflect that, but not the display. I think that the system may also estimate your off body time automatically, so you don't end up with zero cal/min during off body time.

Linked data and Sync data is different. When you sync to your computer there is more processing going on thus making it more accurate.
