![]() This is certainly NOT a confusion between active and resting calories or a problem in resolving them in total calories.įor example these are the February averages shown in the above places in the iPhone health app As I say though, on most days, ABC&D show the same value. Given that this same problem manifests on many but not quite most days, my monthly averages suffer more significantly. As you can see above, measure B,C and D all agree that I expended 1,158 Kcal that day but measure A ‘stole’ 135 Kcal which, in a short month like February, reduces daily average by 5 kcal alone. But it is the one place where calorie expenditure keeps not being recorded. I do this because it shows the best and largest graphs of that data. Now here is a good example taken from Saturday 28th Feb of the values shown at a second before midnight and therefore now recorded as the total Kcal date for that day:Īs it happens I use the iPhone Health App’s Active energy (“A” above) as my long term way of looking at how my performance is developing. So let’s identify these four measure of what should be the same thing as follows:ĭ) Watch/Activity Complication/Kcal segment ![]() The problem I have is that on my watch, at the end of each day, I have a day’s total calories expended which is shown in the Activity complication. In the iPhone Health App, calories expended are represented in two ways:Ģ) As “Move” calories, one of the three metrics shown in Activity, which itself seems to mirror the data presented in the Fitness app on the phone. Even more ridiculous, a watch notification popped up and said "congratulations, you've worked out 7/7 days this week" so it is detecting the workout (obviously, I started and stopped it manually). This is double counting because the whole thing was 36 minutes, not 36 + 6. However apps the read Apple Health also show two line items "Active Energy" only 6 minutes and 35 calories plus "jogging" 36 minutes 312 calories shows. Apple Health shows a 36 minute workout including my path on the map. All my apps that read from Apple Health show a 36 minute workout. Why? Everything else recorded the workout accurate. Today I went for a brisk 36 minute jog and made sure to stop the workout immediately at the end of the workout. But also if you do a workout and forget to stop it until it prompts you or even just have a few minutes of inactivity before you stop it, it will recognize a 30 minute workout as 9 minutes, for example. Somewhere some of my calories are going missing and I’d really like to know where.Īny suggestions people have would be very welcome!Īpple Watch "Activity" and "Activity Rings" do not record proper time or calories I noticed before that it seems like maybe Activity is designed not to let you "cheat", for example if you start a workout and then just sit on the couch it doesn't log minutes, which it probably shouldn't. Today I did a 4.8 mile walk, a 9 m8le cycle and a 168 Kcal strength training session. IMHO this is some form of error, and it is reducing my faith and interest in the ecosystem because it is pretty clearly full of discouraging holes. I don’t use third party apps to speak to Health, other than my body composition scales. I wear an Apple Watch 6 and I start and end my workouts from that. I have searched for answers on this and there are none that apply. So ‘losing’ my efforts is not smart of them - and the reasons are impenetrable. It’s clear they believe that metrics = encouragement. The Apple model for encouraging this is to give me methods of measuring and comparing my current and past efforts. I’ve been on a year long effort to get more exercise. Yesterday the difference was 1,215 versus 1,256. Today for example, Move shows 1,145 calories and Active energy shows 1,010 calories. Again and again at the end of the day, my Active Energy count is lower than the calorie count in Move on my watch.
