  • I don't really use Strava for calorie counting, but I noticed a weird discrepancy around it. I recently went on 2 quite similar rides (50km, ~300m of climb, about 125 minutes). The first I tracked with a Garmin Edge 705; the second I tracked with a new phone. The first ride shows as having burned 2,085 calories; the second shows as 1,011 calories.

    What could be causing that massive discrepancy?

  • The crap algorithms device manufacturers use to calculate calorie consumption.

    When I was working for one, the algorithm team would happily admit that the calorie calculation was basically guess work.
