Hi all, 

 

I have an Alta HR. I've recently been logging my resistance training. Because there is no resistance training option (gross oversight), I've been using the weight lifting setting. I've noticed that when I log anything as weight lifting, it actually subtracts the number of calories I have left in the day. A 30 minute workout knocks off about 75 calories overall. I don't really expect that I burn that many calories while resistance training; my heart rate doesn't elevate that much. However, I shouldn't be gaining calories while working out. I'm fine with not logging the exercise, but the developers may want to check it out if it's a bug.

Apologies. Moderators, please delete this post. It got cross posted in another forum because I realized it was in the wrong group. However, the issue was addressed there. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
