Hi there!
I've been studiously logging my food for a couple of weeks on MFP, however am slightly confused about the amount of calories my Garmin FR 735XT adds for "Garmin Connect Calorie Adjustment".
I've attached a photo of today's calories etc so you can see what I mean - so far Garmin has added ~400 calories. Does anyone have experience with weight loss incorporating these calories?
So far I haven't lost any weight, but unsure if that's to do with this or not!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you ☺️

    Not sure if you are asking this, but it is saying that you took 8,154 steps, and that is the amount of calories burned? It should be accurate if you inputted your actual weight into the watch. I have a Garmin Vivo3 and I have found the calories counts to be accurate - much more than what the machines tell you. I add back all my calories burned to what I can eat, and I lose the correct amount of weight. What I do is try to burn 800 calories, that way I can eat around 2,000 a day. I do not add in normal steps though, just the calories for explicit exercise. Hope that helps.
