There is no full day actual, it still shows as a projection as of 8:30, but to be fair I'd put my watch on charge and had an early night...

Today has just changed from 91 cal adjustment to 54.

Exactly, when I run easy for around 5 miles I'll burn around 450 calories, so I'm not sure what is causing the massive adjustment. The adjustments prior to this never went about 150 or so.

Hi @Lietchi I just checked the last few days and calories remaining are the same both on the web and app platforms. Today, so far, I've had an adjustment of 25 calories - it is just strange how some days I don't have any, unless I'm missing the really active days and the not so active days. I'm still losing weight and…

@Duck_Puddle I cannot seem to get yesterday's 'Daily Summary' however, hopefully enough there to go on.

@Duck_Puddle something really odd today, I had a 602 cal adjustment and 479 remaining for the day, will screen shot tomorrow. I did do over 10k steps and a couple of exercise sessions but still seems a bit off.

Grabbed some 100% organic hemp protein, also chia seeds and macha powder :)

South coast as well!

I'm vegan, recently we have been using the No Meat Athlete cook book and we are loving the recipes in there, it has a lot in there using collards too (took us a while to work out what that was in the UK :D ) Today we have Better Than Takeout Curry :)

Thanks @Duck_Puddle and everyone who has contributed. I have and will continue to follow the MFP calorie count, if I find that I am losing more than a kg a week, I'll make slight adjustments from there - the important thing is to not feel overly depleted to the point that it is detrimental to getting my shape and fitness…

@Duck_Puddle, just looking at Garmin Connect; Daily goal pulled from MFP 1560 calories. Calories burned yesterday 2,719, resting 2,005 and active 714. Daily average is 2,836 1,809 (consumed) - 714 (active) = 1,095 (NET) which left 416 remaining. MFP had 242 (exercise) which means I was -7 calories for the day.

I had concerns for double counting, but then activities don't count steps on mine, just calories. I'm not sure it double counts calories?? I've looked back and the highest calorie adjustment recently was 183, then some days just 9 or 10. I'm not sure ref Garmin what it was on those days.

Sounds about right for my experience with it. I do eat the exercise calories back for activities I transfer, this approach has given me a 2kg weight loss in 2 weeks, which is spot on to what I've set in MFP. I think the tricky bit will be when I hit target and want to maintain my weight, but that is about 3-4 weeks off yet.

Thanks for this, I am going with MFP on the basis that, each week I'll see what I lose and if it is a bit too much too soon, I can adjust it. I want it to be sustainable and hopefully ease the niggles I've had so I can get back to serious running again..

I'd say around 4k was regular steps and the rest were during a exercise walk. Maybe that's it. Garmin has my target of 1560 pulled from MFP, so it is using that, but has a massive calories difference. I've just completed my diary a few cals over on MFP with garmin have 400+ to have.

I'm just hoping to get back to regular running again, then I'll see where it takes me from there. Hopefully a marathon in 2021.

How have you found being vegan and recovery from running? Or were you vegan before you ran? I think we all have our own goals, for my sub 3, I spent years trying to get it and not quite making it, but I believe going plant-based made a massive difference to my training and that was huge for me finally getting there :)

HIIT might help with the last bit - have you tried giving that a go?

@katbelle48 where are you based? I'd recommend you grab a copy of the No Meat Athlete recipe book if you can, the food is great, most is easy to follow and if you google no meat athlete calories there is a link to a page which tells you all the nutritional stats per meal. I've added plenty on MFP already. In the UK, we…

I've done a juice fast before and still managed to run fairly hard while doing it, I enjoyed it as a short term experiment, to see how my body would react to the calorie reduction.

There seems to be loads of resources available for free at the moment @Dreamers8969, so it is a good time to start while indoors - anything from HIIT cardio, to yoga - a lot for free sign up between 2 weeks and 3 months!!
