Issue including calories from FIT file

Post by Spaakridder »

Hello,

I'm new to this tool, but I like it already! Thank you for creating this.

I am trying to combine the location and elevation parameters from a gpx-file with the heart rate and calories parameters from a FIT-file, like so:

Location, elevation and heart rates are included properly, but my calories data isn't. In Strava, they appear as a fraction (992 kJ) of what I used. I would expect it to be 2,297 kJ. (based on Wahoo-Strava conversion rates in other activities)
I tried overriding calories manually, but to no avail.

I would appreciate some suggestions as to which setting to try.

When you export from GOTOES, are you exporting as FIT or TCX? Strava has been overriding more and more information from TCX files (probably because they are considered “modifiable”). If you export as FIT, it should show the number in the original field. If you already are exporting as FIT from GOTOES, I’ll have to do some tests because Strava may have decided to start overriding that too.
