User finds Garmin's auto-adjusted calorie goals (e.g., 1900 cal/day with 2300 active cal burned leading to 1400 net) to be too low and detrimental for training, especially for athletes. They expect the system to leverage native training data for more intelligent and appropriate adjustments, rather than requiring manual workarounds.
I bought a year of plus after finding the photo food logging so damn convenient but I'm really disappointed in how it handles calorie goals. I have it on the most conservative weight loss goal and it puts me around 1900 cal per day, which is comparable to what MyFitnessPal would suggest. Here's the kicker, I burned about 2300 active cal today and it has me at 3700 with the auto adjustment. You want me to net 1400 calories after a hard work out day based on your own calorie assessments? My training would crash and burn and then I would die if I followed this guidance. I know I could tweak the activity level on the back end to account for some of this but this kind of defeats the purpose of logging in an app that is supposed to be meant for athletes and has native access to all my training data. Am I missing something here?
