Calories in Activities calendar

Hi David, would it be possible to display the calories burned in the activities calendar by activity and also the weekly total? Nowadays in strava we need to look at each activity individually or look at it in myfitnesspal. This would replace that need.

Thats a cool idea. Its on the list!

I have started working on this. For now I am going to use the number I get from the Strava API. Strava in turn get this from the “upload partner”.

My notes in case I have to start working this out myself:

For rides with power I can assume an efficiency (e.g. 21%) and use the kJ of work done to get calories.

For activities with HR I can use this paper’s formula to calculate kJ burned from heart rate, age, gender and v02max:

I can estimate v02 max from FTP. Figuring it out from HR data is on the todo list. Or I could use the formula that doesn’t include fitness.

Calories are now displayed on each activity and in the weekly summary area.
