I’ve noticed that recently my activities no longer show calories burned, either on the main dashboard or within the full activity details. Instead, I’m now seeing average power displayed. I haven’t changed my recording device or settings, and this issue started suddenly.

 

I’ve confirmed that my weight is entered in my profile, and I’m using Garmin Fenix 7s to record the activity. This issue affects all my recent trail runs.

Could you please help me understand why the calorie data is missing and how I can get it back?

Hi ​@ginkgobelupo,

to double check - can you please have a look whether the calories are visible on the activity on the Strava website (i.e. not in the mobile app)? That would help to understand whether the calories have stopped syncing or only aren't displayed in the app.

If it's the latter, here is a related feature request:

I can see them displayed on the online browser, but not in the app. Can you help me solve this problem? It’s strange because they showed up for the past 3 activities, and now for my recent ones I suddenly cannot see them.

I’m afraid that it's how the app is designed. It displays only first X metrics, in a pre-defined order of priority. And when you do a trail run with significant elevation gain, Strava includes also GAP (grade adjusted pace), which seems to have higher priority than calories - meaning the calories are left out then…

Bottom line is - we users can't customise the activity view, can't decide which metrics to display. And that's why I’ve included the link so that you can vote for the feature request - which is asking Strava to actually give that option to users.
