Alright, so this is a metric that is accessed on the iPhone itself but since it reads data from the Apple Watch I assume it’s okay to post it here.
Does anyone else see HUGE swings in the “total calories” number in the Fitness app? On Monday, I burned 470 move calories and allegedly a total of 2159. Yesterday, I burned 548 calories and a total of 2708. I update my weight regularly in the Health app, so it’s not like my watch thought I was 150 lbs one day and 200 lbs the next. So what gives? I’d like to use total calories to calculate a good dietary calorie budget for weight loss but I worry about the accuracy. Guess I should mention I’ve got a Series 6.
Edit: just checked my Resting Energy and I’m seeing the discrepancies there as well. Monday it’s at 1687 (which is definitely below my BMR as a 200 lb 6 ft man), yesterday it’s 2159. I wear my watch consistently from 6 am to 10 pm
