The calorie counter on fitness trackers is only intended to be used as an estimate. They use resting caloric burn (Basal Metabolic Rate), the calories you burn just by sitting around- using your gender, age, height, and weight. It's the calories your body uses just to be alive and do things such as maintain body temperature, breathing, circulation, etc. That's what that number is. The device also incorporates active caloric burn. This is estimated using the accelerometer in the device and takes into account steps and the such.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would love help you with the data you are receiving from your vivosmart. Calories burned on vivofit/vivofit 2 and vivosmart take into account your gender, your user profile (weight, height, age), the type of activity (running vs walking), and if a heart rate monitor is being used. If you believe that the data is inaccurate despite the information explained here, please contact Product Support you can view our contact information at www.garmin.com/conact An agent will be able to discuss and view your data. ~QKO
