    There’s a link somewhere on their site on how Garmin calculate calories. There’s levels of accuracy with the best being based on VO2 Max calculated during a lab session, through Heart Rate Monitor calculated and down to best guess based on weight, height and profile.

    Not sure how Strava works out their figure.

    I usually go by the Garmin figure, not a pro-athlete so I’m happy with a rough guess based on HR. No paying for a lab test for VO2 max.
