Great! Apple wants me to gain 2lbs a week. Why? I think maybe Apple Watch calculates resting calories as 'how many have you used so far during the day' so it keeps adding until midnight.įor reference: my BMR should be about 2100, but Apple Watch says 3100 when I look back. Looking at my resting calories at the end of th day seemed good, but when I looked back at previous day's it was way off. My Apple Watch/Health Kit total calories (active plus resting) seems pretty accurate.Įdit: Never mind that last part I wrote. Now if there were a way to take the number Apple counts as your total calorie burn, then subtract say 250 or 500 from it automatically and shove that into MFP, I think that would work.

But I'd hardly call Apple Watch +3 days with MFP 'awesome.'

Anything other than 'sedentary' treats your calorie level as incorporating some amount of unmeasured movement, so any movement which is counted by the app would be double counted. I spent so much time tinkering with the MFP calorie count that I'm loath to have to figure out how the watch fits in.ītw: if you're counting step calories you really should enter 'sedentary' as your activity level. The calorie count on the watch is different from the calorie count on MFP, even with identical steps. I'm not getting my step calories from my watch either, but even if I did there would be a problem.
