Hi all,
New to this forum. I just got a Garmin Edge 500 for Christmas and like it very much except for one thing. The calorie computation during my rides is crazy low.
I am paired ANT+ to a Wahoo TICKR heart rate monitor and also to a WAHOO speed/cadence sensor.
Here are a couple of examples.
Trainer ride for 30 minutes, 7 miles...the Edge registered just 17 calories burned.
Trainer ride for 35 minutes, 8 miles...the Edge again registered very low, just 17 calories burned.
While these weren't super-hard workouts, I would think that the calories burned should have been somewhere in the 250-400 range.
I've contacted Garmin support and am getting nowhere. I've also tried a master reset on the Edge 500 and am getting the same results afterward.
Has anybody else experienced this? Anybody have any ideas how to resolve it?
Thanks very much.
